What is the residency requirement for adoption in Wyoming?

Wyoming

Wyoming requires 60 months of state residency before you can file a stepparent adoption petition (Wyo. Stat. § 1-22-104). 60 days (not months) residency required This means you (or your spouse) must have lived in Wyoming for at least 60 months before filing. If you recently moved to Wyoming, you may need to wait until you meet this requirement. The residency clock starts from when you established your home in the state — it doesn't have to be from the date you officially changed your driver's license.
