Depends on what you are a felon of. Are you a sexual offender. IF so, she wins. If not, you might could get supervised visitation dependng on your record.

Conviction of a felony is only one small factor that goes into the decision of who gets majority timeshare (custody) of the children. Unless the felony was for drug trafficking, a very violent crime, or a sex offense involving children, it probably won't weigh very heavily in the judge's mind. There are many other factors that weigh into a judge's custody decision. You should find an experienced family law attorney in your area to assist you.
