WYOMING Part 48

    • How the children have fared under the original custody and visitation arrangement

    •         The moving parent’s motives for proposing the move

    •         Whether the move will improve the child and custodial parent's quality of life

    •         What options would be available for visitation with the noncustodial parent

    •         How often the noncustodial parent saw the child at the old location

    •         Whether there are family or friends at the old or new location

    •         The educational opportunities at the old and new locations *

Wishing to move or moving, without any other events, is not a substantial or material change in circumstance to warrant a change in the custody order.** The judge has broad discretion for modifying a child custody order, and the best interests of the child should be the most important considerations.
