If a WY divorce you have to hire a WY attorney to file a petition for contempt against wife in the original divorce case. Hopefully your divorce decree says what you claim. If the divorce does not say alot, then you will have to file an action for a sale for partition.

If they merely have registered FradingTard180 as a State mark in another State, that shouldn't affect you at all in Wyoming. If... View More

A Wyoming attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for three weeks. This is not my area of practice, but as a general note, there are attorneys who do limited scope representation.
