In a Wyoming divorce, all property will be divided in an equitable manner, including property acquired prior to the marriage, and gifts and inheritances, based on a consideration of the following factors:

• how and by whom the property was acquired;

• the merits of each spouse;

• the burdens imposed upon either spouse for the benefit of the children;

• the conduct of the spouses;

• any liabilities imposed upon the property; and

• any other factor necessary to do equity and justice between the spouses.
