courts

Courts that oversee bankruptcy filings are part of the federal court system, and are generally referred to as U.S. Bankruptcy Courts.

In the state of Wyoming, as in all other states, bankruptcy filings are handled by the U.S. Bankruptcy Courts, which are specialized courts within the federal judiciary system. These courts are exclusively responsible for handling bankruptcy cases under the federal Bankruptcy Code. Wyoming falls under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Wyoming. Individuals and businesses seeking bankruptcy protection must file their cases in this court. The U.S. Bankruptcy Courts have the authority to make decisions on various aspects of bankruptcy, including eligibility, the type of bankruptcy to be filed (such as Chapter 7, 11, or 13), and the oversight of the bankruptcy process. The federal nature of bankruptcy law means that state courts do not have jurisdiction over bankruptcy filings, although state laws can influence certain aspects of the bankruptcy process, such as exemptions and the treatment of specific types of debts.
