WYOMING Part 35

If you and your child recently moved from Wyoming, generally either you or the other parent can file for custody in Wyoming until the child has living in another state for at least 6 months.*

However, there are exceptions to the home state rule. In some cases, you can file for custody in a state where the children and at least one parent have "significant connections." Usually, however, you can only do this if there is no home state or if the home state has agreed to let another state have jurisdiction. This can be complicated, and if you think this applies to your situation, please talk to a lawyer in both states about this.**
