The State of Wyoming, Department of Family Services, Child Support Enforcement, Appellant (intervenor) v. Connie M…

May 9, 20132013 Wyo. LEXIS 60

Summary

The court held that the district court lacked statutory jurisdiction to set aside the 2008 child-support order and recalculate support retroactively because no party had filed a petition for modification and no statutory exception authorized the court to act on its own. The 2008 order therefore remained effective and enforceable. The court dismissed the appeal and remanded for entry of an order vacating the 2012 order.
