Farrah L. Spencer

Long Reimer Winegar LLP

Spencer’s biography makes the child-centered judgment explicit: when children are involved, she keeps their interests in mind and favors resolution outside court because it is generally less damaging to the family, while remaining fully prepared to litigate when needed. She has more than 20 years of family-law experience across custody, modification, enforcement and complex divorce. Her stature is exceptional for Wyoming, including AAML Fellowship, Diplomate status in the American College of Family Trial Lawyers and past leadership of the state bar’s Family Law Section. The firm’s profile is detailed, current and direct, with publications on child custody and parenting plans as well as clear contact information.

Rennie P. Phillips

Rennie Phillips, Attorney at Law, LLC

Phillips offers some of Wyoming’s most direct child-centered evidence. She devotes most of her practice to domestic relations, has extensive guardian-ad-litem experience in contested custody cases and previously worked for the state coalition addressing domestic violence and sexual assault. That safety background is crucial because minimizing conflict is not child-centered when violence or coercion is present. She has led the Wyoming State Bar’s Children & Family Law Section and the trial-lawyers association’s family-law section, adding professional credibility. Her first-party biography is candid, specific and easy to use, although the website is more compact than the larger firm sites reviewed.

Why the children-first signal is real

Extensive GAL work in contested custody, domestic-violence, sexual-assault and stalking expertise and a practice devoted largely to domestic relations.

Divorce and custody depth

Divorce, custody, guardianship and adoption practice since 2011 with public-interest and private-practice experience.

Professional stature

Former chair of the Wyoming State Bar Children & Family Law Section and current family-law leadership in the trial-lawyers association.

Abigail E. Fournier

Steiner, Fournier, Zook & Case, LLC

Fournier’s regular guardian-ad-litem work in custody disputes supplies direct evidence of child-best-interest experience. Her practice covers divorce, custody modifications, adoption, child support, grandparent matters and guardianships, and her firm biography lists a substantial set of appellate cases. She also serves on the Wyoming State Bar Family Law Section Council and as vice chair of the board of a residential organization for children. The website clearly describes her background and the firm’s full family-law scope, including GAL and mediation work. Her professional tenure and national profile are more modest than Spencer’s, but the combination of GAL practice, appellate depth and child-community service earns the third position.

Why the children-first signal is real

Serves as GAL for children in custody disputes, is vice chair of a residential children’s organization and participates in state family-law leadership.

Divorce and custody depth

Practices family law, including divorce, custody modifications, adoption, support, grandparent matters and guardianship, with a reported body of appellate cases.

Professional stature

Wyoming State Bar Family Law Section Council service, significant appellate record and 2025 Woman of Influence recognition.
