I absolutely 100 percent recommend Freeburg law and my personal lawyer Ethan Morris. Being from another state once they were on the case they did everything to make me feel the ease of the burden of the charge I received. I don’t know how I would have handled it without their help from 500 miles away. The sentencing I received was minimal and I was happy with the entire process. Ethan made me feel as if I just made a small mistake on my part and he would handle everything for me within his power. They were well worth every dollar. Strongly recommend as a DUI attorney.
I hired this firm due to the positive reviews. Ethan did not let me down. He fought for me and my case was dismissed. The team at Freeburg Law will LISTEN to you. They will believe you and do the very best for you. Someone will answer the phone even on a Sunday morning. They will reply to every email, and answer every question no matter what. They will have your back.

There are several legal actions we will use to enforce an alimony order. It is important to document all missed or incomplete payments and to seek legal advice if this issue persists. We can help guide you through the alimony enforcement process and ensure that your rights are upheld.
If your former spouse refuses to comply with an alimony order, or any court order, he or she could be held in contempt of court. We will file a new action, a Petition to Enforce, and a judge would order the parties to appear at a hearing to explain why the order is not being followed.
We can also request that your former spouse’s wages be formally garnished through the court. This means that a portion of their wages will be automatically withheld by their employer and sent to you from the state to cover your spouse’s alimony payments.
The court may place a lien on your former spouse’s property or assets to secure the outstanding alimony. This means that if and when the property is sold, the proceeds will go toward paying the outstanding alimony. This is a common, but time-consuming option, since you do have to wait until the property is sold.
Each spouse has to provide a list of assets, including bank accounts, property, personal property, and income information. Along with that comes a written statement explaining what you believe you're entitled to when everything is divided. We will draft this for you.
Alimony decisions can shape your future in ways that last for years. Whether you need support or are being asked to provide it, we focus on protecting your long-term finances and ensuring the best possible outcome.
Contact Freeburg Law today to have an experienced alimony lawyer fight your case.
Alimony is calculated based on the requesting party’s need for it and the paying party’s ability to pay it.
If one spouse has been covering specific expenses during the marriage and the other can’t afford to take those on alone, the court will factor that in when deciding alimony.
Our alimony attorney will help you calculate how much alimony you could be expected to pay or receive. Contact us to get a clear understanding of your situation.
Spousal support, commonly known as alimony, can be awarded after a long-term marriage where the recipient spouse is unable to maintain the same lifestyle he/she had throughout the marriage.
In deciding whether to award alimony, we often see a review of “need vs. ability to pay”. A judge will compare the recipient spouse’s “need” for continued financial support against the paying spouse’s “ability to pay” alimony. Factors include each spouse’s assets, health and age, ability to earn, contributions to the marriage, and the length of the marriage.
It is important to note that each spouse’s “ability to earn” is not limited to what they actually make at the time of divorce in Wyoming. But what he/she is capable of earning, given their educational background and the current job market.
A judge may disfavor alimony if the requesting spouse is intentionally unemployed or underemployed. For example, a spouse with a master’s degree who chose not to work despite having the means to do so will be viewed differently than someone who stayed home to raise children and manage the household.
