Frequently Asked Questions

What Are the Legal Grounds for Divorce in Boise, ID?

Idaho allows for both fault and no-fault divorce grounds. Most same-sex couples opt for no-fault grounds based on irreconcilable differences. Fault grounds include adultery and extreme cruelty, which can influence asset division and custody arrangements if proven. Our same-sex divorce attorney in Boise can help clarify the implications of these grounds in your unique situation.

How Are Assets Divided in a Same-Sex Divorce?

In Boise, the courts strive for equitable distribution of marital property, which doesn’t mean equal but fair division. Same-sex divorce may involve unique assets or financial considerations specific to the couple’s circumstances. Understanding the court’s approach to community property ensures a fair division, and our legal team specializes in advising on optimal outcomes for asset distribution.

What Happens to Child Custody in Same-Sex Divorce?

Child custody decisions are made based on the child’s best interests, regardless of the parents' genders. Idaho courts consider factors such as parenting capabilities, financial stability, and the desires of older children. Our same-sex divorce lawyer in Boise will advocate ardently for favorable custody arrangements that prioritize your child’s welfare while respecting each parent's rights.

Moreover, the unique aspects of same-sex parenting are considered, especially concerning parental rights for non-biological parents. Establishing legal ties through adoption or similar processes can weigh heavily in custody determinations, highlighting the importance of proactive legal planning. Within these proceedings, we ensure every aspect is scrutinized, aligning your parental involvement with the courts' considerations of both statutory guidelines and the actual lived experience of the child. This careful alignment is crucial in presenting a robust and persuasive case for custody and visitation rights, essential in safeguarding familial bonds.

Is Alimony Available in Same-Sex Divorce Cases?

Alimony, or spousal support, is available under Idaho law and considers various factors, including the length of marriage and economic disparities between spouses. For same-sex divorces, proving economic disadvantage might present unique challenges. Our team is experienced in navigating these intricacies to ensure fair spousal support aligned with your needs and contributions during the marriage.

Often, alimony involves delicate examinations of both past financial contributions and future financial needs. Our approach involves thorough economic analyses, leveraging expert assessments to present a comprehensive view of required support. Tailored strategies are vital, as they ensure a well-rounded presentation addressing all relevant aspects, thus enhancing the likelihood of favorable rulings. Our team’s familiarity with national and local economic standards ensures that demands or defenses in alimony claims are reasonable yet assertive, upholding financial fairness and stability post-divorce.

  • "Efficient, knowledgeable, and professional."
    Katelynn was efficient, knowledgeable, and professional. Always very responsive, and made the process easy and comfortable. She really fights for her clients, and I would highly recommend her to anyone.

  • "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.
  • "Highly, highly recommend."
    Highly, highly recommend.
    Katelynn was beyond amazing.
    We just settled my custody case for my son and I am so happy with the outcome. As a first time mom, this was an extremely stressful and emotional process for me and Katelynn brought so much comfort and guidance to my situation. She was very honest with me and kept me level headed when I was being unrealistic or unreasonable at times. She had excellent communication with me and always kept me in the loop. I never had to wait longer than a day to get a response to any email or phone call. She usually got back to me within hours if not right away. She made me feel like my case took priority, knowing how important it was to me. I greatly appreciated her guidance, honesty and efforts in getting me the custody and the terms that I felt comfortable with. I chalk my case up to a huge win for us, all thanks to Katelynn. I am forever grateful.
