Mom's dilemna

I am a mom of a 2 yr old boy. My divorce is not final yet but there is a temporary custody order which has us having joint physical and joint legal custody with his dad seeing him 30% and he started getting overnights a few months back. For starters I did not want his dad to have joint physical because he was verbally abusive to me and swore in front of our infant son. Before we split up our marriage was bad and we were staying with my parents temporarily and he felt uncomfortable there so I asked him to leave. It happened to be on his first father’s day. I probably subconsciously did that to punish him because he did not seem to me to be much interested in our son and I didn’t want our son in that environment. He does not have a family support system here, so I didn’t think he’d fight for joint custody. After I filed for divorce he ended up moving in with his EX WIFE (before me obviously) who just happens to work in the legal field so is probably advising him! He says that the move was purely platonic and was for economical reasons, she needed help with the rent, and because rent in this area of California is so expensive. I was outraged about this but he still ended up getting joint physical and the courts did not ask him to move out of that situation simply because his ex doesn’t have any history of anything. He is now not settling based on the temporary order and wants more time, and to have him for a week in the summer, plus share ALL vacations! I have a really strong support system as my mother and father help me take care of my son. I would not be able to do this if it wasn’t for them. So there is a hearing coming up where he's probably going to ask for more time. Is there anything I can do to stop that from happening? I think his ex wife is the one behind pushing him to pursue custody because she never had kids and is taking this opportunity to mother my son. I think it’s crazy that the courts seem to think its okay!
