Annotate Legal Idaho Government Forms For Free

No, it does not matter who files for divorce first in Idaho. The court will consider all of the relevant factors in deciding on the divorce, including the reasons for the divorce, the wishes of the parties, and the best interests of any children.

An Idaho durable statutory power of attorney is a type of legal document where one person (the ?principal?) grants financial authority to another person (the ?agent?), such as a close relative or friend. The financial powers granted through a power of attorney can be as broad or as limited as the principal desires.

In Idaho, you simply have to obtain a power of attorney form, select which powers to grant, and then sign the document in the presence of one witness, although the witness cannot be your spouse or the agent you selected.

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.

The power of attorney does not need to be notarized or recorded to be valid. However, if the power is recorded, any revocation of the power by a writing must also be recorded before the revocation is effective.

In Idaho, a durable power of attorney may not necessarily need to be signed in front of a notary public when executed by the principal. A power of attorney does not need to be recorded unless it is being used in connection with a real estate transaction.
