You don't necessarily have a lesser chance of gaining custody of a child if you have a felony on your record. It depends on the circumstances of the felony and on the history, criminal and other, of the parent applying for custody. One thing you can do is you can try to get your criminal record expunged, and that way you will have better chances of winning custody. Anyone eligible for expungement should do this, since it will significantly improve their chances of getting a job or a student loan, as well as improving their opportunities in other areas. Good luck!
