Frequently Asked Questions
Child Support in Wyoming
Discover what you need to know about Child Support Laws in Wyoming.
Wyoming calculates child support under the Wyoming Child Support Guidelines, primarily found in Wyoming Statutes §20-2-301 through §20-2-315. Wyoming uses an income shares model, meaning the court estimates what parents would have spent on the child if living together and divides that obligation proportionally based on each parent’s income and custody arrangement.
The calculation generally considers:
Both parents’ net monthly incomes
The number of children
The Wyoming child support guideline schedule
Parenting time and custody arrangements
Health insurance premiums for the child
Work-related childcare expenses
Other necessary child-related expenses
Court-approved deviations when appropriate
Wyoming courts use standardized worksheets to determine the presumptive support amount. For an estimate tailored to your situation, you can use the Deliberately.ai calculator above—but only a court order is legally binding.
Child support in Wyoming is commonly influenced by:
Each parent’s net income
The number of children involved in the case
Custody and parenting time arrangements
Health insurance costs for the child
Work-related childcare expenses
Other child-related costs required for the child’s well-being
Court-approved deviations from the guideline amount
Cases involving self-employment income, bonuses, commissions, or irregular earnings may require additional financial documentation.
There is no universal amount. The final figure depends on:
The parents’ combined net income
The Wyoming guideline support schedule
The custody and parenting time arrangement
Allocation of childcare, health insurance, and medical expenses
Any court-approved deviation from the guideline amount
For a practical estimate before filing or negotiating, use the Deliberately.ai calculator above, keeping in mind the court has final authority.
In Wyoming, child support generally continues until the child turns 18 years old.
Support may continue beyond age 18 if the child is still attending high school, typically until graduation or the child reaches age 20, whichever occurs first.
Always review your specific court order for termination terms.
Not necessarily.
Support may continue if the child is still enrolled in high school
Income withholding may continue unless the order is formally terminated
Unpaid arrears remain owed even after the obligation period ends
It is important to confirm termination procedures through the court or Wyoming Child Support Services.
Yes. A child support order may be modified when there is a substantial change in circumstances, such as:
Significant income changes
Job loss or new employment
Changes in custody or parenting time
Changes in the child’s needs (medical, childcare, or educational)
Modifications generally apply prospectively from the filing date, not retroactively to already-owed support.
Timeframes depend on:
Whether the case is contested or uncontested
Court scheduling and availability
Whether income documentation is complete and undisputed
Wyoming child support is intended to cover ordinary child-related living expenses, including:
Housing
Food
Clothing
Transportation
Daily living expenses
Courts may also allocate:Health insurance premiums for the child
Work-related childcare costs
Unreimbursed medical expenses
Additional expenses may be addressed in the court order when appropriate.
It can—but only if:
The cost is included in the child support guideline calculation, and
The court order reflects the correct allocation or credit
Paying expenses outside the court order does not automatically reduce the monthly obligation.
Nonpayment may result in enforcement actions such as:
Income withholding or wage garnishment
Tax refund intercepts
Liens on property or financial accounts
Driver’s or professional license suspension
Passport denial in qualifying cases
Contempt proceedings and court-ordered payment plans
Arrears generally continue accumulating until the full balance is paid.
