Wyoming Residency Requirements
The state of Wyoming has unique residency requirements for people who wish to terminate their marriage. You must meet these state-specific requirements prior to filing with your local county court. The Wyoming residency requirements are as follows:
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. A married person who at the time of filing a complaint for divorce resides in this state is a resident although his spouse may reside elsewhere. A divorce may be filed in the district court of the county in which either party resides. (Wyoming Statutes - Title 20 - Chapters: 20-2-104, 20-2-107 and 20-2-108)
If you DO NOT meet at least one of the above residency requirements, you have the following options:
- Establish residency in Wyoming for the period time set forth above (this does not mean you have to wait to begin the process of getting your documents).
- Have your spouse do the filing if he or she meets the Wyoming residency requirements.
- Choose another state in which you or your spouse meet the requirements (all states are unique, so be sure to check the state in which you were married as an option).
