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.

  • "Katelynn took on a difficult and contentious case"
    Katelynn took on a difficult and contentious case that other lawyers wouldn't touch with both grace and tenacity. I was seeking full custody of my son in a complicated situation, and Katelynn stood by me and supported me when I needed it, reminding me what I was fighting for and not letting me give up when it was difficult and I was scared.

    She fought for me through the entire process, making sure I was not taken advantage of and received the best representation possible. When a crisis arose, she maintained a cool head and kept me calm, guiding me through the process to keep my family safe and make sure my family's long term safety remained the paramount concern at all times.

    She advocated for me when I couldn't advocate for myself, and as a result, I have full custody today, but most importantly, my family is safe. I never could have made it through the process without Katelynn and her wisdom and strength. She is truly committed to fighting for her clients and will never give up on you! I could not recommend anyone more highly.

Katelynn was always fast to respond if I had questions or needed more information. She was professional, kind, and understanding. Hopefully, I won't need legal assistance in the future but if I do, I wouldn't hesitate to work with Katelynn again.
