6. CHILDREN OF THE PARTIES: The Defendant and I do not have any children, either natural or adoptive who are under 18 years of age; between the ages of 18-20 and still in high school or a program equivalent to high school; or prevented from supporting him/herself due to a mental, emotional or physical impairment. 7. PREGNANCY: To the best of Plaintiff's knowledge, Wife is not pregnant. [If Wife is pregnant, consult an attorney.

(NOTE: Alimony is not required by law and, in Wyoming, the Supreme Court has held while alimony may be appropriate in some cases, an award of property is a preferable, modern substitute for alimony). 10. WIFE'S NAME (This is Wife's sole decision). That the Wife: ____a. Wants to have her previous name of ______________________ restored. ____b. Does not want to have her previous name restored. ____c. Not applicable.
