It is important to meet with an experienced family law attorney. your facts are unclear and confusing. As well as I understand them, the children have been in Missouri over one year and the other spouse filed in Wyoming. You must hire a wyoming lawyer to get that case dismissed because jurisdiction is in Missouri under the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act. Wyoming has adopted said law.
