Shared custody-amendments.
SF 93 amends Wyoming's child custody laws to promote shared custody as the default for temporary orders and requires courts to explain when it is not ordered. The bill adds a new factor for courts to consider: evidence that a parent provided false information about past domestic violence, child abuse, or neglect. It defines "shared custody" as combining joint legal and physical custody and mandates that courts must order it for final custody decisions unless they find it unsuccessful or not in the child's best interests. The law applies to all custody cases filed on or after July 1, 2026.
