Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois

In a divorce decree signed by the judge, the following states:

Support obligation shall terminate- Support obligations shall terminate for the minor child upon the occurence of any one of the following events:

The marriage of the child of the parties.

Does this mean if either parent remarries child support stops?
