Legal Question in Family Law in New York

How does being on Social Services affect custody?

I have sole custody of my son. The father violated the court order, so I filed a violation on him. He is now counter-suing me for custody (original order was reached by mutual stipulation). I have recently went on social services. How would this affect my retaining sole custody of my child?
