Dividing Property in a Divorce
W.S. 20-2-114 — a just and equitable division, with VA disability pay left out
In a divorce, the court divides the spouses' property in the way that seems just and equitable, looking at each spouse's merits, the condition each will be left in, who the property came through, and the burdens on it for either spouse and the children.
Who handles this in Wyoming: legal aid programs, lawyer referral and the state offices, listed in the Wyoming directory.
Veterans' disability pay. The court may not consider federal disability benefits paid to a veteran for service connected disabilities, or make up to a spouse for military retirement pay waived to receive them, or award other property as compensation for that waiver.
