A child custody order remains in effect until the child is of the age of 18. If the child turns 18 before he or she graduates high school the custody order will stay in effect until the graduation occurs.

Does a parent still have custody over a child even if they are 18 but have not graduated yet?

Usually the custody stays as is until the child becomes 18 years of age, or graduates high school, which ever one occurs last. So if the child is 18, yet still has a few months of high school left, then usually the custody remains as originally ordered. But check your papers from the court on that to see if this particular issue was addressed in them.
