WYOMING Part 14

2.                  What do we need to do to get custody?

What is custody?

Custody is the legal responsibility for the care and control of your child (under 18).* The court may award custody of your child to one or both parents as part of a divorce or separation proceeding. There are 2 types of custody: legal and physical.

Legal custody is the right to make major decisions about your child. Some types of decisions included in the right of legal custody are: where your child goes to school, whether your child gets surgery and what kind of religious training your child receives.

Physical custody refers to who your child lives with on a day-to-day basis.**
