Legal Question in Family Law in Wyoming

Your ex is playing to your worst fears. You need to see an attorney as it appears you may have grounds for your husband to adopt your son and stop the threats and games. If you don't want to do that then the attorney can answer your questions about paternity, custody and support.

Custody decisions in Wyoming are based on the best interests of the child and it seems quite unlikely that anyone who has spent less than an hour with a child would receive custody. An attorney can discuss the factors the court considers in custody cases without to help you understand that you should not be afraid of his threats. It may cost some money to get an attorney to do this for you, but it will be money well spent. The Wyoming State Bar has a referral program if you can't find an attorney. The number is 307-632-9061.

Your son is entitled to child support from the day he was born so it is important that you act on his behalf. Your local child suppport enforcement office can address the paternity and support issues. They do not deal with child custody but base the support on the fact that the child has been with you. You can reach the Carbon County Child Support office at 800-742-3096.

Good Luck!
