Idaho Divorce Laws
Idaho divorce laws are structured to address the equitable distribution of marital property and the children’s best interests. As a community property state, Idaho typically mandates an equal split of assets and debts acquired during the marriage, though the court can adjust this distribution to ensure fairness.
Divorce in Idaho can be filed on no-fault grounds, citing irreconcilable differences, or on fault-based grounds, such as adultery or extreme cruelty. Additionally, the state requires a six-week residency period before filing for divorce.
Child custody decisions are based on the child’s best interests, considering factors like the child’s relationship with each parent, each parent’s ability to provide for the child, and the child’s own wishes, depending on their age and maturity.
