What the court can and can't do

Everyday disputes over money belong in the small claims division, where the rules are simplified, and the sum in question has an upper bound.

Maximum claim

$6,000Maximum claimThe most you can sue for in Campbell County small claims
01

Where you can file

Venue follows the defendant: their county, not the county of the dispute.

02

No claim splitting

Courts do not allow one dispute to be filed as several in order to beat the maximum.

03

Money judgments only

What this court awards is a sum of money, not an instruction to act or to hand something back.

04

You may bring a lawyer, or not

An attorney may appear at the hearing in Wyoming, though nobody has to have one. The process assumes you will speak for yourself.

05

Age 18 is the threshold

Minors take part through a guardian appointed by the court.

06

Sworn paperwork

This state requires notarized filing documents. Squabble prepares them notarization-ready.

07

Evidence goes in early

This state expects your supporting evidence to be submitted with the filing, not just brought to the hearing.

Over the limit? Two routes exist: reduce the claim to the cap and stay here, or take the full sum to regular civil court. Reducing it normally forfeits the difference.

They are the same across all 7 Campbell County ZIP codes, from 82716 onward. Campbell County is under the same limits as nearby Crook County and Weston County.

Service of Process

How to notify the other side

A filed case still has to reach the defendant. Formal notice, known as service of process, does that, and delivering it personally is generally not allowed. Courts in Wyoming generally rely on the sheriff or constable or email service where the court allows it.

Who can serve

Courts accept service by a sheriff or constable, a professional server, the clerk via certified mail, or an adult who is not party to the case. Permitted methods and charges change by county.

When it must be done

There is a deadline, counted backwards from the hearing, by which the defendant must have the papers. Ask the clerk for it when the date is assigned. Defendant must be served within 9-day window (3-12 days prior to hearing).

Recording the delivery

The person who delivered the papers signs a proof of service. That document goes to the court ahead of the hearing.

Service is where many self-filed cases stall. Squabble can coordinate professional Service of Process so it's done correctly and on time.
