What is an Uncontested Divorce?
An uncontested divorce is one where both spouses agree on all issues, including property division, debt allocation, child custody, child support, and spousal support.

Wyoming Uncontested Divorce
Wyoming's uncontested divorce process is streamlined when both parties agree on all terms. Both spouses sign the proposed divorce decree before a notary. The defendant does not need to file a formal answer. After the 20-day waiting period, the signed decree can be submitted to the court for the judge's signature. This is one of the fastest and most cost-effective divorce processes in the nation, potentially being completed in as little as 3-4 weeks.

How to File an Uncontested Divorce in Wyoming
Reach Agreement with Your Spouse

Serve Your Spouse
Even in an uncontested divorce, you must formally serve your spouse. In many cases, your spouse can sign a waiver of service to simplify this step.
Wait for the Mandatory Period
Wyoming has a 20-day waiting period. Under Wyoming law, a judge cannot issue a final divorce decree until at least 20 days after the complaint for divorce has been filed. This mandatory waiting period applies to all divorces, contested and uncontested. In practice, most divorces take longer than 20 days due to the time needed for service, response, and scheduling.
Receive Your Final Decree
Once the waiting period ends and the court approves your agreement, you will receive your final decree of divorce. Some courts require a brief hearing; others approve by mail.

Common Mistakes in Uncontested Divorces
Not putting your agreement in writing
Verbal agreements are not enforceable. Always create a written settlement agreement filed with the court.
Forgetting about retirement accounts
401(k)s, pensions, and IRAs earned during marriage are marital property. Address them in your agreement even if one spouse doesn't claim them.
Incomplete financial disclosure
Wyoming requires financial disclosure within 30 days. Hiding assets can void your agreement.
Skipping proper service
Even if your spouse agrees, improper service can invalidate the entire case. Follow Wyoming's service rules carefully.
