Your question is complicated and really cannot be answered fully on an internet forum. The answer depends on prevailing law where you live, the circumstances of the case, how long ago it happened, the person's lifestyle since the incident, whether or not they have completed conditions of parole or probation and if not, whether either would present a hardship in providing for/caring for the child.

In some states, battery against a child would be an automatic revocation of parental rights, including custody. In other states, all circumstances are taken into consideration and a child may be given or returned to a parent with battery or even abuse convictions.

For more specific information, you need to contact an attorney specializing in family law in your state of residence.

Can an 18-year-old change custody from one parent to another at school?

Generally, custody must be changed through the court and if the parents agree a modification of the custody order must be filed and allowed. However, an eighteen year old is no longer subject to custody orders in most jurisdictions. You should check with the court to see if the custody order is still in effect.Generally, custody must be changed through the court and if the parents agree a modification of the custody order must be filed and allowed.

It isn't automatic, but because of your living arrangement and association with a known criminal it certainly could be grounds for filing a motion to re-open the custody arrangement.

With regard to child custody, the court must consider what is in the best interest of the child. A felony might hurt a parent's character, but it isn't necessarily a bar to having custody. It just depends on the specifics.

Impossible to answer. If your custody is challenged by the other parent, it may well become one of the disqualifications that the other parent will use against you. Only the judge can decide.
