Methodology

Equitable distribution

Wyoming's §20-2-114(a) directs a disposition of the parties' property that “appears just and equitable,” having regard for four statutory considerations: the respective merits of the parties; the condition in which each will be left by the divorce; the party through whom the property was acquired; and the burdens imposed upon the property for the benefit of either party and children. There is no presumption of equal division. §20-2-114(b) additionally shields a veteran's federal disability benefits from being considered, offset, or indemnified in the division.

Division Factors

The following factors are commonly evaluated under Wyoming law:

  1. Respective merits of the parties (§20-2-114(a))
  2. Condition in which each party will be left by the divorce (§20-2-114(a))
  3. Party through whom the property was acquired (§20-2-114(a))
  4. Burdens imposed upon the property for the benefit of either party and children (§20-2-114(a))
  5. A veteran's federal disability benefits may not be considered, used as an offset, or indemnified in dividing marital property (§20-2-114(b))

Wyoming Property Division

Wyoming Statute §20-2-114(a) grants the court authority to dispose of the parties' property as appears just and equitable, having regard for the statute's four considerations: the respective merits of the parties, the condition each will be left in, the party through whom the property was acquired, and the burdens imposed on the property for the benefit of either party and the children. There is no equal-division presumption, and §20-2-114(b) protects a veteran's federal disability benefits from the division.
