You were correct, I believe. Or put another way, custody will automatically revert to the other parent absent loss of parental rights. Of course, if both parents die concurrently, custody likely will be determined as set forth in the parents' wills unless other arrangements are found to be in the best interests of the child.
But I'm not a family law attorney and, heck, I don't even have kids, so don't take my word for it.
