What I have written for the person who has the problem tonight: divorce and custody in Wyoming, an arrest in Teton County, a federal citation from Yellowstone or Grand Teton.
Most people assume divorce means a courtroom. In reality, the vast majority of divorces settle, and families today have more choices than ever about how to reach resolution.
For couples who have gone through fertility treatment, frozen embryos can represent years of hope, expense, and emotional investment. When a marriage ends, the question of what happens to those embryos can become one of the most sensitive…
When most people picture domestic abuse, they picture physical violence. But some of the most damaging abuse never leaves a bruise. It looks like a spouse who controls every dollar, reads every text message, and slowly cuts their…
When a business is part of a divorce — a medical practice, a construction company, a restaurant, a consulting firm — one question can dominate the entire case: what is it worth?
A new job in another state. A new marriage. Family support back home. There are many good reasons a parent might want to move after a divorce or separation.
For most visitors, a national park citation is an expensive inconvenience. If you are in the United States on a visa or hold a green card, it can be something much more serious: a federal criminal record.
If a park ranger handed you a violation notice in Yellowstone or Grand Teton, you're probably asking one question: can I just pay this and make it go away?
Every summer, visitors leave Yellowstone with more than photos - some leave with a federal citation. One of the most common: operating a motor vehicle in a prohibited area under 36 CFR 4.10.
Few phrases raise a divorcing parent's anxiety like "custody evaluation." The idea of a stranger assessing your parenting — and reporting to the judge about it — is intimidating.
Modern families move. A job transfer takes one parent to a new city, a divorce sends another back to be near family, and suddenly a child has meaningful ties to two — or even three — states.
An arrest is one of the most disorienting experiences a person can go through. The moments immediately following can feel chaotic, but how you respond in that window matters — and can have a direct impact on the…
Whether a criminal charge is a misdemeanor or felony can affect the potential sentence, court process, collateral consequences, and available post-conviction options. Wyoming generally sets penalties offense by offense rather than through one universal felony and misdemeanor class chart.
Every custody decision in Wyoming — from the first temporary order to the final decree — is guided by a single legal standard: the best interests of the child.
Alimony—formally called spousal support in Wyoming—is one of the most misunderstood aspects of divorce. Many people assume it's automatic, or that it follows a predictable formula.
Standard alimony analysis works reasonably well for typical divorces. But when significant wealth, business income, executive compensation, or complex financial structures are involved, standard analysis breaks down quickly.
You spent months negotiating your prenuptial agreement. You and your spouse fully disclosed your finances, you both had attorneys, you signed it well before the wedding.
Prenuptial agreements used to be associated exclusively with celebrities and the ultra-wealthy. Not anymore. Today, couples of all income levels and backgrounds are choosing to create prenups before marriage—and for good reason.
You're engaged and you've decided you want a prenuptial agreement. Great. When should you start the process? The answer: as soon as possible, but ideally at least 60-90 days before your wedding.
You've spent years building your business. You've worked 80-hour weeks, risked your savings, taken out loans, and sacrificed time with family and friends. Your business is your livelihood, your identity, and possibly your legacy to pass to your children.
When going through a divorce in Wyoming, one of the most complex and emotionally charged issues you'll face is dividing the property you've accumulated during your marriage.
Second marriages present unique financial challenges. You're likely bringing children from a prior relationship, assets you accumulated before this marriage, and an existing estate plan designed to protect your children.
Family-law consultations are a scheduled, paid meeting, in person in Jackson or by video, in which you and I go through your situation and I tell you what I would do. Criminal and national-park matters begin with a free thirty-minute call. The chat button in the corner of any page and the contact form both work for any kind of matter; the chat can put the call on my calendar at once. Either way, please hold the confidential details until my office has run a conflicts check.
