Re: would the courts do this

Courts do strange things and whatever will happen, will happen. I'm not sure what my opinion will do for you. Regardless, my guess is no, of course no, but if he wants to be in the child's life, the court will set something up to accomplish this.

Re: would the courts do this

You need to consult directly with an attorney. There is a question raised by the brief amount of facts in your posting as to whether a NJ Court even has jurisdiction other than as a referral to GA where you now seem to live. While his chances at sole custody seem very small, never assume what a Judge might do.
