Can i win child custody with an out of state warrant?

I have a warrant in another state for not completing community service. I am planning on filing for child custody in the state i live in now. my ex has 3 felonys, lives 10 hours away from us, plus has no money to even live on. would i still be able to win the case?

You should at least try and contact the other state and see if you can finish your community service in your current state. That way when you go to court to plead your child custody case, you can tell the judge that you are working on clearing up the old warrant.
