Will a recorded conversation between my husband and I stand for evidence in court that he is abusive to my son and myself?
He is verbally and emotionally abusive to my 8 month old son and myself. He is also physically abusive to my son and I have proof of all of this from a recorded conversation but he would never allow me to record him if he knew. So I need to know if they will use this as proof that he is an unfit father or if they will dismiss this evidence. I want to get my son and myself out of this situation before it gets worse, but I’m afraid for our safety if I try to leave so I will have to try to get sole custody of my son.

Assuming the recorded conversation that you have with respect to your husband being abusive to your son is not a recorded telephone conversation, then there is a good chance that if a proper evidentiary foundation is laid for its introduction into evidence that it will be introduced as evidence at a legal proceeding.
I suggest that you consult further with a family law attorney concerning the perceived child abuse issues that you have written about.
