What Property Must Be Divided During Idaho Divorces?
In Idaho, all assets acquired during marriage are considered community property and must be divided equally between divorcing parties. This includes physical assets like real estate, vehicles, and household items, as well as intangible assets such as retirement accounts, investments, and business interests.
However, assets acquired before marriage are not subject to division. This can include personal inheritances or gifts received before the marriage. Additionally, any assets specifically outlined in a prenuptial agreement as separate property will not be subject to division.
Ways to Resolve Property Division Disputes
While some couples agree on dividing their property, others may need outside guidance to reach a resolution. Idaho courtrooms aren’t the only solution, and exploring alternative methods can often save time, money, and emotional strain.
At Jones Law Partners, we frequently guide clients through the following dispute resolution processes:
- Negotiation - Couples can negotiate directly to determine how to fairly split assets and debts. The representation of an attorney is imperative in negotiations, as they can provide objective perspectives and help clients address any legal complexities.
- Mediation - Couples can participate in mediation, a process during which a neutral mediator facilitates communication between parties and assists them in reaching an agreement. This process allows couples to reach a resolution without going to court.
- Court intervention - Couples can settle property division before a judge when all else fails. While courts aim for equitable solutions, this process can be time-consuming and costly.
