Wyoming divorce: the 60-20 clock
Wyoming runs the fastest combined timeline in the country. Sixty days of continuous residence before filing — or continuous residence since the wedding if you married in the state — then a minimum 20-day waiting period under Wyo. Stat. § 20-2-108 before the decree can be entered. An uncontested case can move from filing to final decree in under a month and a half, with most finishing in 30 to 90 days.
The state is no-fault only: the sole ground is irreconcilable differences under § 20-2-104, with a rarely used incurable-insanity alternative. The Complaint for Divorce goes to the District Court in the county where either spouse resides, and Wyoming makes the paperwork easy with numbered packets — Packet 1 for divorces with minor children, Packet 2 for those without — each containing the complaint, summons, financial affidavit, and proposed decree, plus a parenting plan and child support worksheet when children are involved.
Property is divided equitably, and spousal support and alimony are decided under § 20-2-114. Child support follows the Wyoming Child Support Guidelines under § 20-2-304, and custody follows the best interests standard in § 20-2-201. Filing fees run $70 to $160 depending on the county, and a Guided Form Completion tool on the courts’ website auto-fills the packets.
