Wyoming Divorce Law
Divorce Laws in Wyoming
According to Wyoming divorce laws you can request either a fault or no fault
divorce. The entry of no fault divorce requires only the statement of irreconcilable
differences. Fault based grounds can include confinement for insanity for a
period of two years. Additionally, the spouse filing for divorce must have resided
in Wyoming for 60 days prior to filing for a divorce in WY.
Alimony & Equitable Distribution in Wyoming
Wyoming is known as an equitable distribution state. Equitable distribution,
according to divorce laws in Wyoming, means that the court may distribute any
assets of either the husband or wife in a just and reasonable manner. Any factor
necessary to do equity and justice between the parties shall be considered.
Alimony can be granted to either the husband or wife under Wyoming divorce
laws. Such relevant economic factors as the length of the marriage and the parties’
prior living standard, as well as the spouses’ ability to pay are considered
in determining the amount that should be paid to the requesting spouse.
Wyoming Child Support, Child Custody and Child
Visitation
The main focus in determining child custody, according to
Wyoming divorce law, is the best interest of the children. Under WY divorce
laws, the court can award joint, sole or shared custody. Visitation rights are
typically awarded to the non custodial parent.
Child support (a percentage of the non-custodial parents’
income paid to assist with the support of his children) is determined by the
Income Shares model, based on the net income of both parents as set forth by
divorce law in Wyoming. Expect to pay child support until the age of 18 or 20,
if the child is not yet a high school graduate.
