No, however the chances of you getting primary custody are slim to none. The other parent would have to be deceased, or proven unfit for the child. Which with 5 domestic violence charges, you would be proven unfit immediatley.
The odds would be pretty goood in such a case, assuming you do not have any questionable activity on your own record.

The short answer is yes she can, the longer answer depends on what the husband is like comparatively, whether or not children were endangered by her actions.

Yes. You are not an ideal parent if you beat up the mother or anyone.
If you have an active warrant you may be arrested. However, you can minimize that possibility by hiring an attorney. An attorney can attempt to have the warrant recalled before you physically appear in the courtroom. If it is a domestice violence charge, you may have to personally appear regardless. Whether you are taken into custody will depend to some degree on the reason for the warrant.
