As counsel state more information is needed. That said, if it can be shown that you are endangering your child by having a felon around him or her, then yes, you could be jeopardizing your custody. A Minnesota family law attorney can evaluate your situation and advise you how to proceed.

Hello. I would need to know further detail about the situation in order to provide an opinion. The issue is what is in the best interest of the child/the children. Of course, certain felony convictions of a person with whom you reside may negatively affect you with respect to you having custody of a child/children. I recommend you privately confer with an attorney about your circumstances. I advise that you phone several attorneys in choosing because it is very important that you feel a sense of great safety and trust in the attorney-client relationship.
