If you are a married parent who is also filing for divorce, you can usually include the custody petition within the divorce process. If you are a married parent who is not filing for divorce, you can file for custody on its own. If you are an unmarried parent, you can also seek custody in court.
While child custody laws in Wyoming permit physical custody to be divided 50/50 between parents, realistically this rarely happens. More often, one parent is given primary physical custody, while the other is given a schedule of parenting time that will give them frequent and continuing contact with their child.
50/50 custody can be logistically challenging for parents. Parents must coordinate schedules and transportation, which can be difficult if they live far apart or have different work schedules.
Thats something of a trick question, because normally a childmeaning someone under the age of majority, which is 18 in Wyomingdoesnt have decision-making power when it comes to custody. (Wyo. Stat. 14-1-101.)
In Wyoming, courts determine custody on the basis of whats in the childrens best interests and the court does not award custody to one parent over the other based solely on their gender.
