Family-law cases often involve more than one issue. A divorce may include custody and support. A custody dispute may raise mediation, enforcement or modification questions. Brett helps clients identify what needs immediate attention and prepare for the next step.
Divorce and Legal Separation
Idaho divorce may involve property, debt, child custody, child support, spousal maintenance and temporary orders. Brett helps clients identify the issues that need immediate attention and understand the available paths toward agreement, mediation or court.
Child Custody and Parenting Plans
Custody cases often involve parenting schedules, decision-making authority, school routines, transportation, holidays, safety and communication. Anthon Law helps parents prepare for custody mediation, contested hearings, enforcement and modification requests.
Child Support and Modifications
Child support may depend on income, parenting time, insurance, childcare and other child-related expenses. An existing order may also require review when circumstances materially change. Learn more about child support modification orders.
Family Law Mediation
Mediation gives people a structured setting to work through divorce, custody, support and related disputes with a neutral mediator. The parties remain responsible for deciding whether to reach an agreement.

Adoption and Guardianship
Adoption and guardianship can establish important legal rights and responsibilities for children and caregivers. These matters may involve consent, notice, background information, court filings and hearings.

Nampa Family Law FAQs
Common questions about family-law matters for clients in Nampa and Canyon County.
Where are Nampa family-law cases handled?
Many Nampa family-law matters are handled through the Canyon County court system in Caldwell. The correct court and venue depend on the type of case, where the parties and children live, and whether an existing order was entered elsewhere.
Is mediation required in an Idaho custody case?
Idaho’s family-law rules make custody and parenting-time disputes subject to mediation by a qualified child-custody mediator. The court retains authority over the case, and safety concerns or other circumstances may affect how mediation is handled.
Can an existing custody or support order be changed?
An order may sometimes be modified after a substantial and material change in circumstances. Custody, parenting time and child support involve different legal questions, so the requested change should be matched to the correct procedure.
