Mothers historically have won more custody battles due to traditional roles and perceptions of mothers as the primary caregivers. However, this trend is changing as courts increasingly focus on the best interests of the child, considering many factors beyond traditional roles.
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.
2-2-3 custody schedule A 2-2-3 is a 50/50 custody schedule in which the child or children spend two consecutive days with one parent, two days with the other parent, and three days (usually the weekend) with the first parent. This schedule alternates back and forth between the two parents each week.
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.
Cons of equal shared parenting: Frequent exchanges mean that parents have regular in-person contact, which can create conflict that negatively impacts children. Some children may struggle to adapt to frequently moving between homes.

Research shows that for children whose parents do not stay together, 50/50 timesharing is best. Further, researchers have found that it is not just shared parenting for two-household families, but that those outcomes improve the closer the schedule moves to a 50/50 schedule.
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.
