I assume you are asking if custody changes when a parent gets married to someone else?
Custody does not change because of a marriage. If there is any type of court document (divorce decree, child support agreement, etc.) that outlines a custody arrangement nothing changes because one of the parties gets married. Whatever the arrangement was before the marriage, it still stands.

If they are even roughly equal in their standing though, partial custody is the norm unless the parents will be living far apart.

Being married or unmarried is not much of a determining factor when it comes to custody nowadays. In order to have custody changed you would need to prove that either your household and parenting abilities are substantially better than the other parent, or that their situation is detrimental to the children. Having a spouse does not necessarily mean that you are better able to care for the children, especially if the other parent has had custody for a significant length of time without the children having any problems in a single parent household.
