What Will Happen To Your Children
When child custody matters are at issue, there are not only immediate concerns with your kids' safety, school choice, living situation, custody arrangement, whether they may be removed from the Boise ID or the state in general, and many other concerns.
Idaho family law related to child custody is complex and has a lot of moving parts.

Divorce lawyers in Boise ID will be able to help you navigate the process.
What we do
Boise Divorce Lawyer
Let's face it, going through a divorce is not an easy task even when it is simple. However, when these things are at Risk:
- The child custody and safety involved for your minor children
- A significant number of assets that you have worked your whole for
- The prospect of paying your ex a large amount of money in spousal support for a long time
- Being forced out of your home
- Your Ex lying to the Court just to get a Civil Protection Order to use against you in court stating that you are an abuser and committed domestic violence (we see this all the time)
The stakes get even higher and you have more to lose.
HOW WE WORK
What Will Happen To Your Children
When child custody is at issue, there are not only immediate concerns with your kids' safety, school choice, living situation, custody arrangement, whether they may be removed from the Boise ID or the state in general, and many other concerns, but you also have to think about the near and far future.
This can have an emotional and financial toll on the hardiest of parents.
Going through the divorce proceedings or other family law matters, you must make a decision on not only what you want as far as the custody arrangement goes, but also where you want yourself and the minor children to be in the future.
This can be extremely difficult without legal representation.
Is Your Kids' Future At Stake?
When I say the future, I mean, you must ask yourself, do you want to raise the children so that you can instill your work ethic, values, and parenting on your children, or do you think that your ex is capable of instilling those values on your kids after the divorce process is complete?
The is what you must decide in your family law case. Making those decisions without consulting with divorce lawyers in Boise ID is not recommended.
The decisions that you make during the divorce proceedings will all have an impact on that. If you are not awarded the custody arrangement that you want so that you have the opportunity to prepare your minor children for the future, you may not have a chance in the future.
Want To Change Child Custody In The Future, Not So Fast
You may be stuck with the child custody plan that is either awarded by the court or that you have agreed to with your Ex Spouse. Child custody matters are somewhat difficult if you do not have the right evidence to present to the court or if you do not fill out the paperwork correctly. Even slight errors have led to child custody cases being thrown out entirely and resulted in being on the hook for the other parent’s attorney fees.
This is why it is so important to retain the legal services of a divorce attorney in Boise ID.
Once the child custody is put in place, you can only change that plan through post divorce modifications. These are not the easiest family law issues to work through especially if you do not hire divorce attorneys for legal guidance.

What You Have To Show To Make A Change
The legal process is not exactly easy; its rather complex. In order to change a child custody arrangement (and child support), you have to show the court that there has been material, substantial, and permanent change in circumstances.
This is a high burden. Further, the fact that the kids’ want to live with you rather than your ex is not enough to meet that burden. There has to be something more.
Not only do you have to have something more than that, you have to ensure that you are following all of the rules, statutes, and law from prior Idaho Supreme Court family law cases that the best divorce lawyers handle day in and day out or you face your claims getting denied or your case getting dismissed altogether.
What Are You Going To Be Paying In Child Support
The amount of child custody you get awarded with your kids in the divorce will have a direct impact on how much you will be paying in child support.
The biggest factors that come into play in the child support determination is how much both of the parents make a year and how many overnights they are awarded.
So, in addition to getting your child custody right, your child support amount may be a big legal issue that you will face during the divorce process in Boise ID or elsewhere in the treasure valley.
Get It Right The First Time
All of the above is said to make a simple point: get your child custody and child support decisions and determinations right the first time because it is not easy to change once it is set in stone and the divorce process is over.
This goes not only for divorces with contested issues, but for uncontested divorces as well.
- Child Custody
- Uncontested Divorces
- Child Support
- No Fault Divorce
- Litigating whether one spouse should get spousal support
- Explaining the legal process to our clients whether they are Boise residents, living in Twin Falls, or anywhere else in the entire treasure valley or beyond
- Arguing over whether one spouse should get personal injury proceeds or not
- Deciding whether to argue over property division in the divorce
- Paternity Actions
- Divorce on the Grounds of Extreme Cruelty or for Irreconcilable Differences
- What is in the best interests of the minor children and your family in general
- Any other contested issues that may come up during the divorce
Will You Have To Pay Spousal Support(Alimony) Forever?
Contrary to popular belief, judges in Boise ID will order one spouse to pay spousal support to the other. This can be in addition to child support and if you do not have an aggressive divorce attorney, you may be facing alimony and getting the short end of the stick when it comes to property division.
You see, when the court is going to review spousal support, they also review the same factors regarding an unequal property division of the marital assets.
So, if you are not careful and seek the proper legal counsel, you may be stuck with 20% of the property, a child custody arrangement you do not want which results in a high child support amount, and stuck with paying one spouse thousands of dollars a month for years.
The court and the judge do have the follow the rules when deciding family law matters, but they have pretty wide discretion when it comes to ordering spousal support. Once the decision has been made, it is almost impossible to change the consequences of what has been set in stone.
