When the case for visitation or custody comes up in court you must tell the judge.
You must provide the court with any and all evidence you can obtain that supports your claims. Your saying there is a problem is not good enough. If there is a history of domestic violence then obtain copies of the police reports and arrest records resulting from those times you called the police, if possible. Obtain any records of arrests on drug charges, if possible. If you cannot obtain those records yourself then tell the court about them and ask the court to review those records. The court won't know those problems exist until you testify to them. It will further investigate after your testimony and after you have provided any evidence you may have.
You should consult with an attorney who specializes in custody issues or if that's not possible then visit the local family court now and ask to speak with an advocate who can hear your story and advise you.

Can an unwed mother take the kids away from the father and never let him see them again after she was charged with domestic violence?
Since there is a history of domestic violence in this case, the father must establish his parental rights as soon as possible. Once his parental rights have been legally established he will have equal parental rights and as indicated below he can petition for custody. He should be diligent about collecting compelling evidence to submit to the court including copies of any police reports. He should also hire an attorney who specializes in custody issues in his jurisdiction. Generally, if the parents are unmarried the mother has sole custody and control in most states until the father can establish his paternity. Remember, a child's mother can always be identified by medical records. Since the father didn't give birth and he was not legally married at the time of the birth he can establish his paternity through a DNA test. A paternity test can be arranged through the court. Once paternity is established in court, the father can request visitations or custody through the court. If the mother retains physical custody she can request that the court issue a child support order. If the father gets physical custody he can request a child support order.
