Divorce Settlement Agreement - Wyoming

DIVORCE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT — WYOMING

Before you use this: This agreement proposes terms for a Wyoming divorce. The District Court decides property division, alimony, child custody, and child support. Use the Wyoming Judicial Branch's current DIVCP (with minor children) or DIVNoCP (without minor children) divorce forms to present agreed terms and the decree for the Court's approval.

This Agreement is made on [__/__/____] between [SPOUSE 1 FULL LEGAL NAME], of [ADDRESS], and [SPOUSE 2 FULL LEGAL NAME], of [ADDRESS], in connection with divorce case number [____________________] in the District Court of [____________________] County, Wyoming.

The parties married on [__/__/____] in [____________________]. Irreconcilable differences exist in their marital relationship. They ask the Court to review the following agreed terms and incorporate approved terms into the divorce decree.

1. Property

1. Disclosure. Each party has listed the property known to them in Schedules 1 and 2 and has shared the records needed to understand the proposed division. Unlisted property and disputed valuations: [____________________________________________________________].
2. Property to Spouse 1. Spouse 1 will receive the property listed in Schedule 1, subject to Court approval. Transfer steps and dates: [____________________________________________________________].
3. Property to Spouse 2. Spouse 2 will receive the property listed in Schedule 2, subject to Court approval. Transfer steps and dates: [____________________________________________________________].
4. Real property. ☐ None ☐ The property at [ADDRESS AND LEGAL DESCRIPTION] will be ☐ awarded to Spouse 1 ☐ awarded to Spouse 2 ☐ sold. Any deed, payment, refinance, sale date, and net proceeds split: [____________________________________________________________]. A party who promises to refinance will provide written status updates on [DATES].
5. Retirement benefits. ☐ Each party retains their own accounts. ☐ The account or plan [____________________] will be divided as follows: [____________________________________________________________]. The parties will obtain any plan-approved separate order needed to carry out the division and submit it for Court approval.
6. Court review. The parties request a just and equitable disposition under Wyo. Stat. § 20-2-114. The Court may accept, alter, or reject proposed terms as the law permits.

2. Debts

Each debt is identified in Schedule 3. As between the parties, the person assigned a debt will pay it when due and reimburse the other party for any amount the other party must pay on that assigned debt. Terms for joint accounts, closure, documentation, and reimbursement: [____________________________________________________________].

3. Alimony

Select one proposed disposition:

☐ Neither party requests alimony.

☐ [SPOUSE NAME] will pay [SPOUSE NAME] $[________] per month beginning [__/__/____] and ending [__/__/____], subject to the Court's order. Payment method and any agreed conditions: [____________________________________________________________].

☐ The parties ask the Court to decide alimony after considering the evidence. Requested terms: [____________________________________________________________].

Wyoming Stat. § 20-2-114(a) permits the Court to decree reasonable alimony with regard to ability to pay. This private agreement does not itself enter an alimony order.

4. Children and parenting, if applicable

☐ There are no minor children for whom custody or support must be addressed in this divorce; skip Sections 4 and 5.

☐ The minor children are identified by initials and birth years in Exhibit A. The parties propose the custody and parenting schedule completed there, subject to the children's best interests and the Court's order under Wyo. Stat. § 20-2-201. Neither parent is favored merely because a plan is labeled joint, shared, or sole custody.

Both parents will follow any visitation order requiring a parent who plans to change home city or state to give 30 days' advance written notice to the other parent and the district-court clerk stating the move date and destination, with any ordered domestic-abuse address confidentiality preserved under § 20-2-202(a)(iii). A move notice alone does not change a custody order.

5. Child support, if applicable

The parties will use the current court computation form and the presumptive tables in Wyo. Stat. § 20-2-304. The child-support order must state the presumptive amount and whether it departs under § 20-2-307(a).

Combined net monthly income: $[________]

Presumptive monthly amount: $[________]

Proposed payer and amount: [SPOUSE NAME] pays $[________] per month beginning on the date set by the Court.

☐ Proposed amount equals the presumptive amount.

☐ A deviation is requested. Specific facts supporting a Court finding that the presumptive amount would be unjust or inappropriate: [____________________________________________________________]. Attach the parties' explanation for Court review under § 20-2-307(d).

The parties will provide the court-approved financial affidavits required by § 20-2-308(a), or the Court will receive testimony at a hearing as the statute permits. The Court enters the accompanying income-withholding order under § 20-2-309(e).

Health insurance provider: [____________________]. Proposed allocation of uncovered medical and necessary child-care expenses: [____________________________________________________________]. These terms are proposed for Court review and do not automatically change the statutory guideline amount.

6. Taxes and records

For each tax year, each party will use a federal filing status permitted by tax law based on marital status at year-end. The parties' allocation between themselves of any prior joint-return refund or payment is: [____________________________________________________________]. Each party will provide documents reasonably needed to carry out that allocation. This agreement does not select a filing status that federal law disallows.

7. Court approval and performance

1. The parties request that the District Court review this Agreement and incorporate approved terms into its decree. Terms affecting children remain subject to the Court's best-interests and support decisions. Until a new order is entered, the parties will comply with any existing court orders.
2. Each party will sign documents reasonably needed to carry out Court-approved property transfers by [DATE OR EVENT]. If a property term is not performed, the other party may request relief from the Court available under the decree and law; no private notice-and-cure period suspends child support, custody, or visitation duties.
3. Changes to this Agreement will be written and signed by both parties. Any change to an entered court order must be presented to the Court for an appropriate order.
4. The schedules and Exhibit A are part of the parties' proposed terms. Blank provisions are intentionally left for completion before signing.
