Answer:
Wyo. Stat. § 14-2-605reads:
“A valid acknowledgment of paternity filed with the state office of vital records is equivalent to an adjudication of paternity of a child and confers upon the acknowledged father all of the rights and duties of a parent.”
Therefore, one does not require to get a court order establishing him as the adjudicated father, if he has signed a valid acknowledgement or paternity.
