Wyoming § 20-4-187

• Jurisdiction: Wyoming
• Title 20: Domestic Relations
• Ch. 4: UNIFORM INTERSTATE FAMILY SUPPORT ACT

Text

(a) Before making demand that the governor of another
state surrender an individual charged criminally in this state
with having failed to provide for the support of an obligee, the
governor of this state may require a prosecutor of this state to
demonstrate that at least sixty (60) days previously the obligee
had initiated proceedings for support pursuant to this act or
that the proceeding would be of no avail.
(b) If, under this act or a law substantially similar to
this act, the governor of another state makes a demand that the
governor of this state surrender an individual charged
criminally in that state with having failed to provide for the
support of a child or other individual to whom a duty of support
is owed, the governor may require a prosecutor to investigate
the demand and report whether a proceeding for support has been
initiated or would be effective. If it appears that a
proceeding would be effective but has not been initiated, the
governor may delay honoring the demand for a reasonable time to
permit the initiation of a` proceeding.
(c) If a proceeding for support has been initiated and the
individual whose rendition is demanded prevails, the governor
may decline to honor the demand. If the petitioner prevails and
the individual whose rendition is demanded is subject to a
support order, the governor may decline to honor the demand if
the individual is complying with the support order.
