Before worrying too much about how much child support will cost, or how much you might get, you should know that Wyoming child support laws require both parents to support the child. What this means in actual dollars depends on your custody arrangement and both parents' income.

Wyoming law provides a list of factors a judge must consider when determining "the best interests of the child." Some of these are: the quality of the child's relationship with each parent. each parent's ability to provide adequate care for the child, including arranging for the child's care by others as needed.

Things like the right to participate in decisions about a child's medical issues. The right to the children's educational records. The right to attend parent teacher conferences. Legal custody allows a parent to help raise their child.

Ing to the guidelines, for two kids, you must pay between 20% to 36.8% of your net income, plus an additional percentage of any income above a certain baseline amount. The baseline for our example net income of $2,500) is $2,083. The percentage of child support due on $2,083 is 35%.

§20-2-201 through §20-2-204 and §20-2-311(d). Wyoming law states that any payment of child support not paid when due shall automatically become a judgment against the parent who is supposed to pay on the due date. This judgment is subject to a 10% late payment penalty if it is not paid within thirty-two (32) days.

That's something of a trick question, because normally a child?meaning someone under the age of majority, which is 18 in Wyoming?doesn't have decision-making power when it comes to custody. (Wyo. Stat. § 14-1-101.)
