Child custody after remarriage

Dear Members/Experts

I value your opinion.Kindly advise me regarding the following issue:-

Iam a divorcee with a son of 7yrs old.My ex has filed petition for custody 3yrs back...Till date no order has been passed.Now iam going to start a new life afresh..married life for the second time.

1.Now will it effect my custody of my son that is still with me due to my re -marriage?

2.If i have a child from my wedlock in future will it effect my custody of my son in case it is still with me ?

Please help.

Remarriage itself is no ground for change in custody of the minor. Regards, Shonee Kapoor harassed.by.498a@gmail.com

This ground alone would not affect the custody in most states.

only consideration for awarding custody of the child is "with whom the welfare of the child lies ? and what is the intellegible preference by the childitself ,if the child is matured enough to excercise the preference ,
