Wyoming Child Support Services can help establish paternity locate non-custodial parents and review/modify existing child support agreements. Families not on public assistance will pay a $25 fee for the use of state services. Wyoming CSS can take a number of enforcement actions on delinquent parents including wage garnishment, suspension of licenses, and intercepting tax refunds.
