i think there's a good chance you would get custody, judges don't look kindly on parents in jail, as they can't parent at all from there...call a few family lawyers in your area and ask them about it, they should be able to give you a quick consultation on the phone, let you know what your chances are, then take it from there...good luck

Do you have to have custody to file for child support?

Your question could be read in different ways. Child support is intended only for the support of children and their needs. If the children are in the custody of (living with and being supported by) someone who is not the parent on a regular basis, that person must petition the court to be appointed the legal guardian and then petition for a child support order against the parents. If you are the parent then you must have custody in order to get child support. If your children are in the custody of someone else, such as the example provided above, you cannot receive child support.
