What drives divorce costs in Wyoming
The single biggest variable is conflict. An uncontested divorce — where you agree on property, support, and parenting — costs a small fraction of a contested one, because attorney hours, discovery, and court appearances are where the money goes. At Wyoming's average family-law rate of ~$309/hour, every disputed issue adds hours quickly. Note that Wyoming has a mandatory waiting period of 20 days before a divorce can be finalized.
