How to Collect Your Judgment in Wyoming

A Wyoming judgment is enforceable for 5 years, and can be renewed before it expires. Wyo. Stat. § 1-17-307: a judgment becomes DORMANT if execution is not issued within 5 years of the judgment (or within 5 years of the last execution). A dormant judgment may be revived by action/scire facias within 21 years after it became dormant (Wyo. Stat. § 1-16-503). Issuing executions periodically keeps the judgment alive.

Yes. Garnishment in Wyoming can reach Lesser of 25% of disposable weekly earnings OR the amount by which disposable weekly earnings exceed 30x the federal minimum wage (tracks the federal CCPA cap). Exemptions: Wyo. Stat. § 1-15-511 / § 1-15-408: the maximum subject to garnishment is the lesser of 25% of disposable earnings or the excess over 30x federal minimum wage; the greater of 75% of disposable earnings (or the 30x-minimum-wage floor) is exempt. Public benefits, certain retirement, and other categories exempt.

Through Proceedings in aid of execution / judgment debtor examination (post-judgment discovery) (No statewide self-help form; conducted under Wyoming Rule of Civil Procedure 69 (depositions/discovery in aid of execution)) — the court orders the debtor to appear and disclose their assets under oath. Under W.R.C.P. 69, a judgment creditor may obtain discovery from the judgment debtor (including by deposition/examination) about the location and nature of assets, at any time after judgment, using the discovery rules.

File and record a certified transcript/abstract of the judgment with the county clerk of the county where the debtor owns real estate; the judgment becomes a lien on the debtor's real estate from the day and time the transcript is recorded (Wyo. Stat. § 1-17-302 / § 5-9-138). The lien lasts 5 years.

You pay the court and sheriff their own filing/levy fees directly (usually modest, and recoverable from the debtor). Our Judgment Collection service is a flat $299 — we prepare your Wyoming-specific enforcement forms and a step-by-step filing playbook; you file them. Compared with collection firms that take 33–50% of what they recover, that's hundreds to thousands less on a typical judgment.

Some debtors are "judgment-proof" — no job, no bank account, no equity — and no tool can squeeze money that isn't there. The honest play is the debtor's exam to confirm what exists, then keep the judgment alive (it lasts 5 years and is renewable) and try again when their situation changes. We give you the tools, not a guaranteed payout.
