Commonly Asked Questions

What should I consider before filing for divorce in Boise?

Before filing for divorce in Boise, it's essential to consider several factors that can significantly impact your future. First, think about the emotional and financial implications of divorce. Understanding your rights regarding property division, spousal support, and child custody is crucial. Additionally, consider the potential effects on your children and how to approach co-parenting. Consulting with a knowledgeable family law attorney can provide clarity on the legal process and help you make informed decisions that align with your goals.

How can I ensure my parental rights are protected during a custody dispute?

To protect your parental rights during a custody dispute, it's vital to gather evidence that demonstrates your involvement in your child's life. This includes documentation of your parenting activities, communication with the other parent, and any relevant financial support. Engaging a family law attorney in Boise can help you navigate the complexities of custody laws and advocate for your rights effectively. They can assist in presenting your case in a way that highlights your commitment to your child's well-being, which is often a key factor in custody decisions.

What are Idaho's Divorce Residency Requirements?

To file for divorce in Idaho, you must have been a resident for at least six weeks prior to filing.

  • The earliest you can get a divorce started is 20 days after you file. If you have children, however, the Court may require you complete the Court-ordered parenting classes before entry of a final Judgment.
  • Idaho allows you to file for no fault divorce, which is officially known as filing due to “irreconcilable differences.”

Navigating Idaho's Family Law Statutes

Like all U.S. states, Idaho has its own laws and statutes that pertain to adoption, marriage, and other family legal matters. 

Important state laws and legal procedures you should be aware of include:

  • To adopt an individual who is at least 12 years old, the child must consent to the adoption (unless they lack the mental capacity to do so). 
  • Married individuals require the consent of their spouse to adopt.
  • Gay and lesbian couples who are single or married can adopt in Idaho. 
  • Child custody will be decided based upon the standard of the “best interests of the child.”
  • When it comes to child support, both parents share legal responsibility for financially supporting their children.
