Idaho is a fault and no-fault state. It is not necessary to show that either one of the parties was at fault. One statutory basis for a divorce in Idaho is that there is no reasonable likelihood that the marriage can be preserved and, therefore, the marriage is irretrievably broken.

In Idaho, marital property division follows the community property law. The spouses have equal rights over any debts and assets they acquired during their marriage. The law refers to these assets and debts as community property.

Spousal support, or alimony, is a key part of every divorce case. Under Idaho law, the spouse who committed adultery may have to pay more alimony. On the other hand, if the spouse who is less financially stable was the one who committed adultery, the court may award less alimony because they were at fault.

The ?no-fault" ground for divorce in Idaho is called "irreconcilable difference." You can also divorce if living separately for at least five years. The fault-based grounds for divorce included: Adultery. Extreme cruelty or inflicting serious physical or mental harm on your spouse.

Idaho law permits spousal support when the requesting spouse cannot support herself or himself, and the requesting spouse is unable to obtain self-support through work. Temporary spousal support and attorneys fees may also be available at the initiation of an action.

Support obligations should be determined without regard to the gender of either parent. Rarely should a parent's child support obligation be set at zero; therefore, there is a rebuttable presumption that each parent should contribute at least $50 per month per child.
