Mediation in Wyoming - Frequently Asked Questions

How much does divorce mediation cost in Wyoming?

Mediation in Wyoming typically costs about $200 per session, with most cases requiring 3 to 10 sessions. That puts the typical full-mediation range at $600 to $2,000, usually split between both parties. Court-connected mediation programs in Wyoming are often available at reduced rates, and some counties subsidize the first session.

Is mediation required in Wyoming?

No, Wyoming does not require mediation as a prerequisite to filing. Courts often encourage it, and judges in many counties have discretion to order mediation on contested issues. Programs at the courthouse are often free or reduced-fee for low-income filers.

How long do mediation sessions last in Wyoming?

Most mediation sessions in Wyoming run 90 minutes to 2 hours. Full-day mediations (4 to 8 hours) are also common when both parties have attorneys present and want to settle multiple issues in one sitting. Per-session pricing covers the standard length; longer sessions are billed pro rata or at a higher full-day rate.

Do attorneys participate in Wyoming mediation?

It depends on the format. Court-connected mediation in Wyoming usually does not include attorneys at the table. Private mediation can be either attorney-assisted (each spouse brings counsel) or attorney-free. Even when attorneys are not present in the room, most mediating spouses have a consulting attorney review the proposed agreement before signing.

What if mediation does not resolve everything in Wyoming?

Partial agreements still help. Wyoming courts will accept a partial settlement and try only the remaining issues, which is faster and cheaper than litigating from scratch.
