How filing works in Wyoming
- Prepare the petition or complaint for the District Court — most Wyoming courts publish the forms on their self-help pages.
- File with the clerk and pay the filing fee above. Keep the stamped copy; it is your proof of filing.
- Arrange service of process on the other party where the case requires it (divorce and general civil cases do; a name change usually does not).
- Complete any publication the rules require — for a Wyoming name change: required.
- Attend the hearing or, in uncontested matters, submit the proposed decree for the judge's signature.
