Let us consider that the spouses seeking child custody have spoken among themselves regarding how to develop the custody plan and the possibility of sole custody. Irrespective of this talk, the courts in this state give a priority to the "best interests of the child." The laws in Wyoming clearly specify that at the beginning of a child custody case, none of the parents would be favored. However, it has been observed that in reality, 75 percent of the cases, the mother is granted custody.
