Boise Family Law, Focused on Real Solutions

When your family is in transition, you deserve a lawyer who is steady, practical, and local. At Anthon Law, we assist Boise clients with divorce, custody, support, adoption, guardianship, and mediation by providing clear advice and a plan that aligns with your goals.

Our approach is straightforward: minimize conflict whenever possible, safeguard what matters, and make sure your case progresses without any issues.

What We Handle (and How We Help)

Divorce: We map out the decisions that matter, including property division, spousal support, and debt allocation, and help you choose the most efficient path, from negotiation and mediation to litigation if needed. Idaho’s community‑property framework sets the baseline; our job is to advocate for fair outcomes that fit your family’s real life.

Child Custody & Parenting Plans: Your children’s needs come first. We help you create schedules that accommodate Boise Life School pickups, activities, holidays, and address decision-making, communication, and travel. If you’re already under an order that no longer fits, we handle modifications, too.

Child Support: We explain how support is calculated, gather the financials, and seek orders that reflect current income, parenting time, and your children’s needs. We also help with enforcement and post-judgment updates as circumstances change.

Adoption & Guardianship: From step-parent and relative adoptions to adult and minor guardianships, we manage paperwork, hearings, and timelines so your family can focus on the people, not the process.

Mediation: Boise families often resolve disputes faster and more affordably with mediation. We can serve as your neutral mediator or provide private advice before and after sessions, enabling you to negotiate from a position of clarity and confidence.

Our Boise‑Built Approach

For years, we’ve worked across the Treasure Valley, from Meridian to Eagle, working with the Ada County Courthouse and collaborating with families. We know the local judges, court schedules, and the subtle expectations that can affect case progress. It doesn’t matter if your hearing is downtown on Front Street or virtual from Canyon County, we offer local expertise that reduces time and stress.

We also prioritize clear communication, ensuring you always understand the status of your case, upcoming steps, and their significance.

Our approach is based on how Boise families actually live. We prioritize peaceful solutions first, using mediation whenever possible to help you stay in control of the outcome. But if your situation requires it, we are fully ready to advocate for you in court with the precision and focus gained from years of Idaho experience. We keep each step efficient, with practical strategies that help move your case forward.

What to Expect at Your First Consultation

Let’s discuss what led you here, what a “win” means for you, and what needs to be protected right now. Feel free to bring along any relevant paperwork, such as prior orders, financial statements, a draft parenting schedule, or a list of questions you’d like to ask.

You’ll leave with a clear next step, the documents to gather, the strategy we recommend, and timelines you can realistically plan around.

FAQs

Do I have to go to court if we reach an agreement?
If you and the other party settle, we will prepare the necessary documents for the judge’s signature. Most uncontested cases involve minimal court time.

Is mediation right for us?
If both sides are willing to try, mediation can save time and money and give you more control over the details. We’ll help you prepare, and we can serve as your mediator or your counsel.

Can I modify an existing custody or support order?
Yes, if your circumstances have materially changed. We’ll evaluate your facts and recommend the best route.

How do fees work?
We’ll explain the fee structure up front and align the scope of work with your goals and budget.
