If my husband and I have just seperated, would the courts give him 50/50 custody even though he would not be able to support my child?
Or would he just get visitation until he can show that he can be responsible? I am the only one working and my ex does not have a job and has not worked in about 3 years.

Given what you have written about, if the "ex" wants 50% custody of the minor child and is a good father then most likely the court will allow such a request unless there are reasons not to. I suggest that you may want to consult with a family law attorney for further assistance in your matter.
