Wyoming Supreme Court

Michael Scott Carroll, II v. State of Wyoming, ex rel. Department of Family Services, Child Support Enforcement…

July 14, 20222022 WY 88

Summary

The Wyoming Supreme Court affirmed the denial of Carroll's request for relief from his child support arrears under Rule 60(b)(6). The court held that Carroll failed to show unusual circumstances warranting extraordinary relief because he could have challenged the statutory minimum when the 2012 support order was entered or through a direct appeal. The court also held that Rule 60(b)(6) cannot substitute for a direct appeal.
