It is nearly impossible to predict or estimate the odds, as their are many subjective determinations to be made, and you were only able to provide a few facts here. You sound consult directly with a family law or probate attorney. Many offer a free or low cost initial consultation. After they know more of the pertinent facts, they may be able to advise you on your options.

Good luck, and may God bless you for caring about thus child.
