Getting Divorced in Wyoming

According to Wyoming Code, a divorce may be decreed on the grounds of irreconcilable differences in the marital relationship. This is commonly referred to as a “no-fault” divorce.

A divorce may also be granted when either party has become incurably insane and the insane person has been confined in a mental hospital for at least 2 years immediately preceding the commencement of the action for divorce.

Residency Requirements

No divorce will be granted unless the plaintiff has resided in Wyoming for 60 days immediately preceding the time of filing the complaint. However, if the marriage was solemnized in Wyoming and the plaintiff has resided in Wyoming since the marriage, there is no specific residency requirement.

Waiting Period

The court will not grant a decree of divorce until at least 20 days after filing the petition for divorce.
