You do have a very good chance of it, assuming that you are not doing anything illegal, or involved with any substance abuse issues, or anything like that. But the reason that you have a good chance of getting custody is not because your boyfriend walked out on you, and not because he was cheating on you; it is because the courts have a strong bias to give custody of childen – especially of very young children – to the mother.
