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.
