I'm a little confused here - if you were married, separated, got custody of your daughter, got divorced (or the other way around) and then were remarried to your former husband, any agreements or orders from the divorce ended when the two of you married.
If you were married, separated, divorced, got custody and married someone else the orders and agreements still stand.
If you remarried the same person you would have to go back to Court and request custody of your son AND your daughter.
Did I answer your question?

Custody papers are valid until dissolved. So 5 or even 10 years ago they are still valid. So the real question is did you remarry a different man or your ex after divorce ?
If you married a different man then your papers on your daughter are still valid. As far as your son that's something that has to be decided by the courts but has no bearing on this question. You are entitled to ask for full custody but just because you have one of the children its not a sure thing you will get it based on you having the other sibling or your sex.
