If you are a single mother, and there are no court orders in place, you already have sole custody. Otherwise, yes. Under the Violence Against Women Act, a judge is not allowed to even consider the validity of a claim of domestic violence in deciding custody.

Can the mother go to the father house and get her child if there isn't a court order saying that the dad has full custody?

No, the mother is no more entitled to custody than the father. If the father currently has temporary or implied custody, then a custody order must first be established before you can get partial custody or visitation rights. For example, if you moved out and left the child in the care of the father, you forfeited your custody rights until an official custody order has been established.
