As this8384 pointed out, jurisdiction for child custody litigation will be in Utah. He can sue you there for up to six months from the time you take the child to another state.
Jurisdiction for a divorce, if child custody were not involved, might be enjoyed by courts in other states to which OP might move, but, since custody is an issue, it is probable that a divorce petition would be dismissed elsewhere.
If anybody is interested (and I realize OP didn't ask), one has to reside in Wyoming for at least 60 days to file for divorce there:
"20-2-107. Residential requirements generally for plaintiffs.
(a) No divorce shall be granted unless the plaintiff has resided in this state for sixty (60) days immediately preceding the time of filing the complaint, or the marriage was solemnized in this state and the plaintiff has resided in this state from the time of the marriage until the filing of the complaint."
