Uncontested vs. Contested Divorces
An uncontested divorce occurs when spouses can reach agreements on major aspects of their separation without court intervention. These major aspects include decisions regarding property division, child custody, child support, and spousal support (alimony).
Because there are no disputes to settle, uncontested divorces are typically faster, less expensive, and less emotionally taxing. Couples who choose this path often appreciate its simplicity and the greater control it affords them over the outcomes of their cases.
On the other hand, a contested divorce is when spouses cannot reach an agreement on one or more critical issues. Disputes about financial matters, parenting arrangements, or asset distribution often require more formal legal proceedings, including negotiations, mediation, or even court hearings, to reach a resolution.
These cases can take significantly longer to finalize and may involve additional costs and emotional strain. While contested divorces may be necessary when disputes cannot be avoided, the cooperative nature of uncontested divorces makes them preferable for many families.
Who Is Eligible for an Uncontested Divorce in Idaho?
While uncontested divorces provide a smoother path forward, not all couples may qualify.
To file for an uncontested divorce in Idaho, you and your spouse must meet the following criteria:
- Residency requirement - One spouse must have lived in Idaho for six weeks before filing. Whether you reside in Boise, Nampa, or a nearby community, this requirement must be satisfied for your divorce to proceed in Idaho courts.
- Mutual agreement - Spouses must agree on all major aspects of the divorce, including division of property and debts, child custody, visitation schedules, child support, and spousal support. If any key issues remain disputed, the divorce may need to proceed as contested.
- Parenting plans (if applicable) - Couples with children must draft a parenting plan that outlines custody arrangements, visitation schedules, and other details to address the children’s best interests.
