Do You Qualify for an Uncontested Wyoming Divorce?
Wyoming is a no-fault state with one of the country's shortest statutory waiting periods, but you must meet the residency rule and complete the real paperwork.
Use this kit if:
- You or your spouse has lived in Wyoming for at least 60 days immediately before filing — or you were married in Wyoming and have lived here ever since.
- You agree to file on grounds of irreconcilable differences and you both agree on how property and debts will be divided.
- Your spouse is willing to sign an Acknowledgement and Acceptance of Service so you can skip a Sheriff.
- You can wait at least 20 days from filing the Complaint — and longer while your spouse's answer deadline and any hearing are scheduled.
Talk to a lawyer if:
- Neither spouse has lived in Wyoming for 60 days and neither residency alternative applies.
- Your spouse refuses to sign the Acceptance of Service, can't be located, or disputes any material term (Contested Case).
- You have minor children, a pregnancy, prior protective orders, or a domestic-violence history that needs its own review.
- You have retirement accounts, real estate, mineral rights, a business, or other significant assets and debts to divide.
Acceptance of Service Skips the Sheriff — Not the Rest of the Case
The Wyoming Judicial Branch's own current form spells out exactly what accepting service does — and what it doesn't.
We provide plain-English guidance to the Complaint for Divorce, the Acknowledgement and Acceptance of Service, your Initial Disclosures, and the Decree of Divorce — explained field by field, not just handed to you.

What Acceptance of Service actually waives
The current Acknowledgement and Acceptance of Service form states that signing it does not waive any right to challenge the lawsuit, court jurisdiction, or venue — only issues related to a defect in the Summons or its service. Your spouse must still file an Answer within 20 days (30 if received outside Wyoming) or risk a default judgment.
The Affidavit Without Appearance has conditions
The court's own instructions say the Affidavit for Divorce Without Appearance can be filed only after both parties have signed the Decree of Divorce, or after an Entry of Default has been issued. Even then, "the Judge may still require a hearing in some situations." It's a possible route to skipping a hearing, not a guarantee.
We can't promise a specific hearing outcome or timeline — no honest DIY product can, and your judge and county Clerk of District Court make the final call. Our guide focuses on assembling complete, correctly executed paperwork the first time, since missing documents are what actually cause delays.
Why Use a Wyoming Filing Kit?
Wyoming's current no-minor-children packet runs to 20 forms — a Complaint, Summons, Acknowledgement and Acceptance of Service, Initial Disclosures, an Affidavit for Divorce Without Appearance, and a Decree of Divorce at minimum, plus default and hearing paperwork depending on how your case unfolds.
Save Thousands
You do the filing yourself and keep the difference between a lawyer's fee and a one-time kit price — see the breakdown alongside.
The Real Form Set, Explained
We walk you through the Complaint, Acceptance of Service, Initial Disclosures, and Decree field by field — and flag the default and hearing paperwork you may need depending on how your spouse responds.
Your Total Out-of-Pocket
*Wyo. Stat. Sec 5-3-206 sets the original district-court civil filing fee at $160 (including a $40 court-automation component and a $10 indigent civil-legal-services component). This does not include Sheriff service if you don't have a signed Acceptance of Service (the Judicial Branch's own packet cites roughly $50 for Sheriff service), or any local surcharges. Confirm your county's current total with your Clerk of District Court before filing. Attorney figure is an illustrative estimate, not a quote.
What's Inside the Kit
A plain-English guide to the real Wyoming uncontested-divorce filing packet.
Uncontested Divorce Roadmap
- File your Complaint
- Get an Acceptance of Service signed
- Manage the 20-day statutory floor
Core Filing Packet
Guidance on the statewide forms an agreed, no-children case needs to start and finish:
Default & Hearing Paperwork
- Application for Entry of Default & Affidavit in Support of Default
- Entry of Default
- Request for Setting & Order Setting Hearing
- Used depending on whether your spouse answers and your county requires a hearing
What this kit does not include
- A guarantee that your county's District Court will accept your paperwork without additional local documents
- A guarantee that a hearing will be waived, that a judge will sign your Decree as submitted, or that your case finalizes on any particular timeline
- Cases where your spouse won't sign the Acceptance of Service, can't be located, or disputes any term (Contested Case)
- Full coverage of minor-children cases — custody, child support, and parenting-plan requirements need their own separate review
- Real estate, mineral rights, retirement accounts, business interests, or other complex property not fully resolved by a simple agreement
- Your county District Court's own filing and Sheriff-service costs — separate from our $129 price
- Coverage for domestic-violence situations, pregnancy, prior protective orders, or bankruptcy — those need a different approach and often an attorney
PlainDivorce is a private publisher, not affiliated with, endorsed by, or approved by the Wyoming Judicial Branch, the Wyoming Supreme Court, or any county District Court. Local court rules can require additional documents beyond the statewide packet; using our guide does not certify any document as court-approved or guarantee it is sufficient for your case. Always confirm current requirements with your Clerk of District Court before filing.
A plain-English companion to Wyoming's own divorce statutes and statewide self-help forms, for filing in your local District Court.
How It Works
A roadmap to your Decree of Divorce — not a promised timeline, since your county's own schedule and case facts both matter.
File the Complaint
Fill out and file the Complaint for Divorce and Vital Statistics Form with your Clerk of District Court and pay the filing fee — confirm the current amount with your clerk.
Serve Your Spouse
Have your spouse sign an Acknowledgement and Acceptance of Service to skip a Sheriff, or arrange formal service within 90 days of filing.
Wait & Disclose
Your spouse has 20 days (30 if served out of state) to Answer. The court may not enter a Decree until 20 days after filing. Exchange your Initial Disclosures once the Answer deadline passes.
Finalize the Decree
Submit your signed Decree of Divorce and, if eligible, an Affidavit for Divorce Without Appearance. The judge may still schedule a hearing before signing.

If Your Case Isn't Eligible, You Get Your Money Back
If you buy the kit and then discover you have minor children needing a full custody review, your spouse won't sign the Acceptance of Service, you own real estate, mineral rights, or a retirement account, need a business valued, there's a domestic-violence situation, or another circumstance this kit isn't built for, email us within 30 days and we will refund you in full. We would rather lose the sale than have you file something that doesn't fit your situation.
Refunds are handled by our support team. See our Terms of Use for full details.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the 20-day waiting period?
Wyo. Stat. § 20-2-108 says a divorce decree "shall not be entered less than twenty (20) days from the date the complaint is filed." It runs from the filing date, not from service or acceptance of service, and it is a minimum floor — not a promise your case finishes on day 20. Service deadlines, your spouse's answer window, disclosures, and any hearing can extend the real timeline.
What does the Acknowledgement and Acceptance of Service actually do?
The Wyoming Judicial Branch's current form states that signing it does not waive any right to challenge the lawsuit, court jurisdiction, or venue — only issues related to a defect in the Summons or its service. Your spouse still must file an Answer within 20 days (30 if served outside Wyoming) or risk a default judgment.
Do we have to go to a court hearing?
Not always, but it is not guaranteed either. The Affidavit for Divorce Without Appearance can be filed only after both parties have signed the Decree of Divorce, or after an Entry of Default has been issued — and the court's own instructions note the judge may still require a hearing in some situations.
What is Initial Disclosures, and is it the same as a Financial Affidavit?
No. For a no-minor-children case, the Wyoming Judicial Branch's current packet lists Initial Disclosures — a form exchanged directly with your spouse (never filed with the court) listing assets, debts, employment, and income — as the core financial-disclosure document. A Confidential Financial Affidavit is a separate, more detailed form used mainly in cases with minor children.
What if we have minor children together?
You will need a different, larger form set on top of the base packet, including a Confidential Financial Affidavit, child-support calculation materials, and other case-dependent items, and custody jurisdiction generally has its own residency rules for children. Check the Wyoming Judicial Branch's divorce page for the current with-children packet before relying on this kit alone.
What does it cost to file, beyond the kit price?
Wyo. Stat. § 5-3-206 sets the original district-court civil filing fee at $160 (including a $40 court-automation component and a $10 indigent civil-legal-services component). If you don't have a signed Acceptance of Service, add roughly $50 for Sheriff service (the court's own estimate). These go to the court, not to us — confirm your county's current total with your Clerk of District Court before filing.
Is this an official, court-issued kit?
No. The Wyoming Judicial Branch publishes its own free, current self-help packets, and states plainly that they may not fit every situation and that some courts require items others do not. Our kit is a private, independently written guide to completing those statewide forms; it is not issued, approved, or endorsed by the Wyoming Judicial Branch, the Wyoming Supreme Court, or any District Court.
What if it turns out my case isn't right for this kit?
Email support within 30 days and we will refund you in full. See our Terms of Use for details. We are not a law firm, cannot give legal advice, and cannot appear or file on your behalf — you file with the court yourself.
Important Legal Disclaimer
PlainDivorce is not a law firm and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or approved by the Wyoming Judicial Branch, the Wyoming Supreme Court, or any District Court. We do not provide legal advice, do not represent you in court, and no attorney-client relationship is created by using this site or the kit. The Wyoming Uncontested Divorce Kit is a self-help information product explaining Wyoming's own divorce statutes and statewide self-help forms; it is not a certification that any document or process is court-approved for your specific case or county.
We do not guarantee that your spouse will sign the Acknowledgement and Acceptance of Service, that a hearing will be waived, that a judge will enter your Decree as submitted, or that your case will finalize within any particular timeframe. The statewide district-court filing fee ($160 as of the current fee schedule, plus Sheriff service and any local surcharges, subject to change) is separate from, and not included in, our $129 price; you are responsible for verifying current requirements and fees with your Clerk of District Court before filing. This kit does not fully cover cases involving minor children, contested proceedings, real estate, mineral rights, retirement account division, or business interests.
If you are experiencing domestic violence, coercion, or feel unsafe, do not rely on a self-help filing in place of legal advice or protective measures. Contact a family law attorney, the Wyoming Coalition Against Domestic Violence & Sexual Assault, or the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233.
