An Overview of Divorce in Idaho

Getting a divorce in Eagle? Your case will be governed by Idaho law. You can get divorced here regardless of which state you got married in, so long as you satisfy the residency requirement. One spouse must live in Idaho for at least six weeks before filing. Idaho recognizes no-fault divorce. You do not have to prove that your spouse did anything wrong to get a divorce. You can file on the grounds of irreconcilable differences. While fault grounds exist, no-fault divorce is far more common. For property division, a community property law applies. The marital assets are presumed to be jointly owned by both spouses. However, a 50/50 split is not necessarily guaranteed by state law. For parents, any custody/visitation issues will be resolved in the best interest of the child.
