A divorce decree is a legal document signed by the judge that officially terminates the marriage. The divorce decree typically includes the judge’s ruling on all matters related to the marriage and any minor children—including division of marital or community property, payment of marital or community debts, spousal support, child custody, child visitation, child support, any obligation to provide health insurance for minor children, and the payment of extracurricular expenses for minor children.

These determinations or rulings set forth in the divorce decree become legally enforceable obligations when the judge signs the divorce decree—and may be enforced by further legal action in the court if one or both of the former spouses fail to comply with the terms of the divorce decree.

In Wyoming, a divorce decree is the final legal document that signifies the end of a marriage, issued after the court has made decisions on all pertinent issues. The decree includes the division of marital property and debts, alimony (spousal support), and if applicable, matters concerning child custody, visitation rights, child support, health insurance for children, and payment for children's extracurricular activities. These provisions are based on state statutes and are legally binding once the judge signs the decree. Failure to comply with the terms of the divorce decree can result in legal consequences, and the aggrieved party may seek enforcement through the court. This could involve filing a motion for contempt or other legal remedies to ensure compliance with the court's orders. It's important for individuals going through a divorce in Wyoming to understand that the terms set forth in the divorce decree are enforceable and to adhere to them to avoid further legal action.
