Cost of Divorce in Wyoming
Wyoming costs depend on your issues, conflict level, and how quickly you exchange financial information. The 20-day statutory minimum and local scheduling shape timelines.
Typical Costs
Expect a filing fee, plus service of process, copies, and certified decrees. Professional services may include mediation, limited-scope legal review, document preparation, and financial experts for valuation or tax planning. Parenting cases often require a parenting class.
What Drives Cost Up or Down
Costs rise with complex property, high-conflict parenting, and late/incomplete disclosures. Costs fall with organized bank, pay, credit, and tax records, a single shared settlement draft, agreed valuation dates, and early mediation.
Ways to Save
Lead with mediation to resolve most issues, then have a lawyer review your final agreement. Use attorneys strategically for coaching and quality checks. For real estate, specify an appraisal method and a refinance/buyout timeline.
