Legal Question in Family Law in Virginia

Custody

My sons father and I do not get along. We have joint custody over our son. I have recently moved in with my fiance of 4years who has a stable background in the school system and is wonderful to my children. My sons father has now threatned to take me back to court for custody. My fiance and I plan to get married by next year but now I am wondering do I need to speed things up in fear of loosing my child. Could I be in jeopardy of loosing custody? Please help
