It depends on many factors. For example, which case was filed first? Whether one parent knew of a pending case in another jurisdiction and knowingly filed the same claim in a different jurisdiction. Too many open questions to give you a definitive answer.

Generally, with limited exception, no.

no, that would be repetitious and unnecessary for a court to do that.
