No you may not. Most likely the state will place a child with next of kin, if the other parent is unable as well. But depending on what the warrants are for, after you serve your time. You will most likely get the child back. Hope this helps.

∙ 13y agoIn most states the standard for custody of a child is "what is in the child's best interests". Therefore, the answer most probably depends on for what offenses were the warrants issued and what was the final legal disposition of each warrant. Generally, the fact that a parent has warrants against him/her, will not by itself bar that parent from receiving custody. The judge must look at the totality of the circumstances for each parent and what is in the child's best interest.

If One parent has full custody but child wants to live with noncustodial parent?
They recently changed the laws of custody, No one parent has full custody UNLESS they see the other parent as unstable and unfit. If the parent you want to live with has been deemed unfit as a parent then it will have to be taken to court or you can contact certain child organizations to give you more details about how to leave your current home and return to the home of an "unfit parent" However if one parent obtained full custody of the child and the other parent was not deemed unfit as a parent, you may still live with them because of the recent change in custody laws, stating no one parent can have full or primary custody. (in other words, if your mom has full custody and your dad has none ((Also assuming the father hasn't been charged with being a drug addict, alcoholic, or financially unstable etc.)) you may live with the father)
