Where to File in Wyoming

Wyoming's civil statute of limitations for childhood sexual abuse extends 8 years after the survivor turns 18, capped at age 26. Wyoming does not have an active lookback window as of February 2026. Wyoming has a single diocese — the Diocese of Cheyenne — which has published a credibly accused clergy list. No Wyoming diocese has filed for bankruptcy. The relatively small Catholic institutional footprint in Wyoming limits the volume of historical claims, but survivors under age 26 should consult an attorney about their claim's viability. Older survivors should consult an attorney about any available tolling arguments under Wyoming's equitable tolling doctrine.
