Yes, it is not unheard of. When deciding to grant custody, the judge will take into consideration the nature of the crime, how much time has passed since conviction and the parent's behavior since that time, whether conditions of probation and/or parole have been met and if not, whether such conditions would present a hardship when caring for the child or otherwise meeting their needs.

Just because a parent has a felony conviction in their past does not automatically preclude them from being granted custody of their child or children. However, the judge will rule in favor of that person who will be able to provide a stable and loving home - in other words, act in the best interests of the child.

Because of your living arrangement and association with a known criminal it certainly could be grounds for the other parent to file a motion to re-open the custody arrangement.
