She has admitted her verbal abuse of our children in emails to medical sites, but continues to claim that I am the abuser to her and the children.Is this info admissable in custody issues.

Admissions against a party's interest is admissible in hearing where the admission is relevant to some issue being decided. An email sent by a party would seem to be such an admission.
