Wyo. Stat. § 14-6-213 (2026)

taken into immediate custody; waiver of service.

     (a) After a petition is filed, the court shall issue an
order to appear. The order shall:

          (i) State the name of the court, the title of the
proceedings and the time and place for the initial hearing;

          (ii) Direct the persons named therein to appear
personally at the hearing and direct the person having actual
physical custody or control of the child to present the child
before the court at the hearing;

          (iii) Be directed to the child's parents, guardian,
custodian and spouse, if any, and to any other person the court
deems necessary; and

          (iv)   Be directed to the child alleged to be
delinquent.

     (b) If it appears to the court by affidavit by the
district attorney based on actual knowledge or on information
and belief that the conduct, condition or surroundings of the
child seriously endanger the child's health or welfare or the
health, welfare or property of others, that the child may
abscond or be removed from the jurisdiction of the court or that
the child will not be brought before the court notwithstanding
service of the order, the court may direct in the order to
appear that the person serving the order take the child into
immediate custody and bring him before the court.

     (c) Service of the order may be waived either in writing
or by voluntary appearance at the hearing, provided a child may
waive service of the order only with the consent of his parents,
guardian, custodian, guardian ad litem or counsel.
