Villa Park, IL asked in Child Custody, Divorce and Family Law for Illinois

Q: If I get remarried to my ex does the prior divorce decree become null and void or will it go into effect if we split up?

We divorced in 2010 and he received custody of the kids. We have since gotten back together and remarried. Did the original decree become null and void when we remarried? If we get divorced again will it take effect or will a new one be in place?
