Re: child custody
You can write a will. You will need to consult a probate or estate planning attorney for the proper wording.
If there is anyone with a legal relationship to the child, that person could ask for custody.
You might want to go to court and have the step-father either adopt the child or have him listed as a conservator.

Your common law husband has no paternal rights to the child.
