can one lose custody battle if convicted of felony?

Answer 1

Only if you're a man.

Answer 2

If you are convicted of a felony you usually go to jail for some time. Unless the spouse has something contrary to the good of the children it's unlikely the one convicted of the feloney will be given custody.
How ever if he/she is on probation or completed their sentence, employed, and financially able to care for the children and have nothing on their record that would show they are not fit to have costody they would stand a good chance.
Often convicted felonys will get help/support from churches and retain custody o ftheuir children.
A clean bill health as far as drugs, alcohol, good employment record, a good moral, and society conscious record, and support from the church congretation will go a long way in helping to keep custody.Often in custody moral support from the church will make a difference.
