New custody rules for sex-offender parents
Wyoming adds child protections in custody and visitation cases involving parents required to register as sex offenders. In divorce, separation, annulment, and paternity cases, courts must consider either parent's conviction requiring registration under Wyoming law. Courts must presume that unsupervised visits with a parent required to register are not in the child's best interests. The parent can present evidence to overcome that presumption, so unsupervised visits are not automatically banned. The law took effect immediately upon becoming law.
