FAQ
What Rights do Spouses Have During Separation? In a legal separation proceeding, a court can decide matters such as child custody and support, alimony and property division. However, as stated above, the spouses will remain legally married and cannot remarry unless and until they get a divorce.
To petition for a separation, the petitioner must be a resident in Wyoming for at least 60 days before filing the petition. Also, the marriage must have taken place in Wyoming, and the filing spouse should have resided in Wyoming from the date of the marriage to the date of filing.
Yes, it is mandatory. Each party must obtain independent legal advice prior to signing a separation agreement. You also cannot use the same lawyer and should not use the same law firm. If you fail to obtain advice from a lawyer, the separation agreement will be unenforceable.
A separation agreement may be set aside and determined to be unenforceable if a party can show that the agreement was not signed voluntarily, that its terms are unconscionable, or that it was obtained as the result of fraud, duress, or undue influence.
