FORMULA How Wyoming Calculates Child Support
Wyoming Statutes Section 20-2-304 governs child support. Wyoming uses Income Shares with published schedule tables based on combined net income.
AGE When Does Child Support End in Wyoming?
Child support in Wyoming ends when the child turns 18 — Support ends at 18 or high school graduation. Support also ends upon the child’s death, marriage or emancipation. Important: In most cases support does not stop automatically — you need a court order. Stopping payments without a court order creates arrears even after the child reaches the cutoff age.
INTEREST Arrears Interest in Wyoming
Wyoming charges 10% annual interest on unpaid child support arrears. Wyoming’s rate of 10% is among the higher rates in the country. There is generally no statute of limitations on child support debt.
ENFORCEMENT Wyoming Child Support Enforcement
Wyoming has broad enforcement powers including wage garnishment, tax refund interception, driver’s license suspension, professional license suspension, passport denial, and credit bureau reporting. Criminal charges may apply for significant or long-term non-payment.
MODIFY Modifying Child Support in Wyoming
Child support can be modified in Wyoming when there is a material and substantial change in circumstances — typically a significant income change, job loss, new children from another relationship, or change in custody. Most states also allow a periodic review every 3 years. File a petition with the court — private agreements to change support are not legally enforceable.
