Wyoming's divorce rate is 6.1% per 1,000 of the population, making it the 3rd highest in the country, behind Nevada and Arkansas.
Wyomingans prefer divorce to annulment. Since under an annulment the marriage is considered null and void, neither spouse has the right to demand payments from the other.
Wyoming is one of the eight Intermountain states (Utah, Idaho, Montana, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona and Nevada being the others) often cited for high divorce rates.
Wyoming requires citizens to wait 20 days after filing for divorce before it is granted.
