Parental custody is decided by judges on the basis of the child's interests. If one parent appears likely to do a better job of taking care of the child than the other parent would, the judge will award custody to that superior parent.

If you are divorced and granted custody that court order is valid unless the other parent (or the state) get custody for whatever reason (if both parents become unfit etc). And custody lasts until the child is 18. You can not get a guarantee from the judge that you as a parent will have custody until the child is 18. There are 2 parents and according to the law both are allowed to seek custody of their child.
When a parent has had custody of minor children for 6 months and files for custody and the other parent files a counter suit in another state which suit wins jurisdiction?
It would depend on the reason. If the parent who filed custody over the six month old child from a divorce, but the other parent files a counter suit for the "safety" of the child, then the judge would have to look more into the case because the other parent had already, as it seems from your question, won custody. If nothing is found then the child remains with the custody holder. But, if something is found then the child will be handed over to the parent who filed the counter suit OR will be sent to child services. It literally depends on the case. Sorry.
