Alimony
W.S. 20-2-114 — reasonable alimony, revisable on either spouse's petition
The court may award either spouse reasonable alimony out of the other's estate, considering the other's ability to pay. It may order a specific sum, or set aside real estate or its rents for a spouse's life.
Who handles this in Wyoming: legal aid programs, lawyer referral and the state offices, listed in the Wyoming directory.
After a decree, the court may from time to time, on either spouse's petition, revise the amount of alimony or other allowance or how it is paid.
While the case is open. While a divorce is pending, the court may order either spouse to pay what the other needs to carry on or defend the case, and support for the other spouse and the children.
