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. ***
