There's no Custom Field currently in the UI: select any contact and go to
Contact/Add Field submenu. You won't see any Custom Field there. It may well
be in the schema for future development and/or compatibility with other
applications that sync to Address Book via Sync Services. But since it's not
in the UI it will not be exposed even if you can finagle it via Cocoa
frameworks.
What does exist is something called Related Names. That is scriptable:
'related name' class is an element of person. That's as close as you can get
to a custom field at present.

Howdy scripters!
The Address Book Contacts schema includes a Custom Field attribute,
but it doesn't seem to be exposed in Address Book's AppleScript
dictionary (there's a custom date class, but that's not what I'm
looking for). Does anyone know if it's possible to add custom fields
to AB records with AppleScript, or am I going to have to dig into the
Cocoa frameworks?
Thanks,
Michael
