Wyoming Supreme Court

Jeannine Marie Grosskopf, Appellant (defendant) v. Loren M. Grosskopf, Appellee (plaintiff)

February 10, 19841984 Wyo. LEXIS 258

Summary

The Wyoming Supreme Court affirmed a divorce judgment awarding appellant custody and $36,190.70 in cash, imposing marital debts on appellee, and denying alimony and attorney fees. The court held that Wyoming's no-fault divorce statute changed only the grounds for divorce, not the consideration of fault in property division, alimony, and fees. It also held that an advanced educational degree is not 'property' subject to division under § 20-2-114, though equities arising from a spouse's contribution to the other's education may be adjusted through property or monetary awards.
