Our firm delivers compassionate, results-driven divorce legal services that focus on your unique concerns and goals.

Our attorneys commit to providing guidance that not only supports your emotional well-being, but also makes the regional legal process as smooth as possible.

Grounds & Requirements for Divorce in Idaho
Before starting a divorce in Boise, you need to understand the specific grounds and eligibility rules set by Idaho law. Idaho is a no-fault divorce state, meaning you can seek a divorce based on “irreconcilable differences.” The law also recognizes fault-based grounds such as adultery, cruelty, or abandonment. Most people in Ada and Canyon counties choose the no-fault route to limit conflict between spouses.
Idaho law requires at least one spouse to have lived in the state for six weeks before filing for divorce. Most divorces in Boise must be filed at the Ada County Courthouse, which handles numerous family law cases each year. After filing, Idaho law imposes a 20-day waiting period before the court can enter a final divorce decree. The timeline may change depending on agreements between spouses, contested issues, or court scheduling.
If minor children are involved in your case, Idaho law requires parents to complete a parenting education class. This course gives parents in Boise the tools to help children adjust to family changes and build a stable future.

How Child Custody Works in Boise & Across Idaho
Child custody decisions in Idaho focus on the best interests of the child. Boise judges look at several factors, including the wishes of each parent, the child’s preference (if mature enough), existing family relationships, and the parents’ ability to provide a safe environment. Idaho courts encourage parents to work together, but if parents cannot agree, judges may make detailed orders about legal and physical custody, visitation schedules, holidays, and school breaks.
Local courts often refer families to mediation when custody is contested, and completion of a parenting education course is mandatory when minor children are involved. If concerns about safety or domestic violence arise, the court may issue temporary or permanent protective orders as needed. Jones Law Partners takes the time to explain the process step by step, helping you anticipate paperwork, timelines, and topics that matter most to your family right here in Boise and the greater Ada County region.
