WYOMING Part 44

If a custody order is already in place, how can I get it changed?

To change a custody or visitation order that is already in place, you need to file a motion with the court.* See http://www.courts.state.wy.us/DandCS.aspx for the appropriate custody forms. Generally, for the court to grant you a change in custody or visitation, you need to show that there has been a "material and substantial" change in circumstances since your last hearing and that changing the custody order would be in the best interest of your child according to Wyoming law.** A condition that existed when the custody order was entered is not a substantial or material change in circumstances. Moving away, without any other events, is not a substantial or material change in circumstance to warrant a change in the custody order. ***
