Idaho Child Support Guidelines
Child support in Idaho is governed by guidelines that consider:
- the income of each party
- the child custody arrangement
- the number and ages of children involved.
If you are paying support for other children or have other children living with you, or if you claim the children for either Federal or State tax exemptions, this can also impact your child support.
The court may deviate from the guidelines for many reasons, including but not limited to when the court attributes or imputes income to a parent, if the parties have a nontraditional child custody arrangement, if the parties agree that they do not want wish to receive/pay child support, or if it is in the best interests of the child.
When determining the amount of support each parent is responsible for, the court utilizes a calculation system known as the "Income Shares Model." This is an estimation of the amount of money both parents would spend on the child if they lived in the same home.
The amount is divided between both parents and the non-custodial parent is responsible for giving their share of the payment directly to the custodial parent.
Collecting & Enforcing Child Support Orders
While a child support order is a legal obligation, sometimes the non-custodial parent chooses to not make their payments. Whether this is due to the fact that the non-custodial parent cannot afford to make payments, or they do not wish to, they must uphold the agreement or face legal repercussions.
If you are a custodial parent and are having trouble getting the other parent to pay child support, you should never take the matter into your own hands.
It is best practice to contact a Boise child support attorney who can help you seek legal action against the other parent and collect delinquent payments.

"She is professional, empathetic, direct, and efficient."
I highly recommend Katlynn Mitchell to represent you. She is professional, empathetic, direct, and efficient. May you have the same satisfaction as I did working with Katlynn. Thanks so much.- Rusty P. -
"Katelynn was amazing from the start!"
Katelynn was amazing from the start! She was referred to me by my partner's family, as the majority of them have used or consulted her services. I went for guardianship and had no idea what it entailed— Katelynn was wonderful at explaining the process and being forward about realistic expectations. In no time I was granted guardianship due to her due diligence. She was patient with me, super informative to my questions, and VERY efficient in her work. Really, all I had to do was go about my life and she handled everything! She’s a Gem to the Treasure Valley and I will always consult her for anything I may need in the future. Thanks Katelynn!- Tianna M. -
"I had a very complicated case"
I had a very complicated case that required help from a legal professional. It took a while to find one that gave me the "warm fuzzies", but as soon as I came across K. Mitchell Law, I knew she would be the best. I was right, she is the best. Incredibly responsive, knowledgeable, and professional. Even in court, I felt confident that my concerns were voiced the way I wanted them to be. If I have any more legal problems solved, I know just where to go back to. K. Mitchell Law.

"This whole experience with Katelynn was SUPERB!"
How can I begin?
This whole experience with Katelynn was SUPERB!
Katelynn was honest, upfront, and professional in every aspect of the work she did for my divorce case. We had a great relationship and got along great, which is something that I was looking for, a Lawyer that wasn't here for the money but here to work for YOU! The nice thing about Katelynn compared to other lawyers in the area is that she won't take too many cases she can't handle, she doesn't have an Assistant do all the work, she does the a lot of the work herself.
I was lucky that my divorce was handled in mediation (thank goodness). But I heard and listened to Katelynn in the Court room during Trial and she is a not only professional, but confident, courteous, and POWERFUL. She definitely knows what she is doing when it comes to Family Law in Idaho, she even struck down multiple objections from my Ex because the other Lawyer didn't know what they were doing and weren't informed. She is here to fight for you in what she knows you can get, and won't promise or say what she isn't confident in.
I was confident with Katelynn, and you should be as well, don't look ANYWHERE else. Thank you so much Katelynn!- Zach B. -
