Legal Question in Family Law in Virginia

What are the chances a father can obtain joint custody of a ten month old if when we were together he was physically and sexually abusive toward me? And he also has convictions for drugs, etc. I left him for these reasons and now he wants to have visitation. I'm not comfortable with it.

I do not see this father being awarded joint custody of this child,

but rather more likely something like supervised visitation.
