I'm not sure what you are asking.

Custody of minor children is a civil matter.

"Charges" are generally for criminal matters.

If a person has not been convicted of a crime then normally the judge in a family law case (such as custody) cannot let in anything about the pending litigation in criminal court.

I hope that answers your question.

If not repost with more details.
