How Does the Division of Property Work in Idaho?
Division of property is simple when it comes to divorce proceedings.
There is a community aspect associated with the division of property, which means both parties are going to be equal owners of the property or assets that are being divided. This is based on all things being equal surrounding the circumstances of the divorce.
In general, a property under the name of the couple is going to be split in half. This means both are going to get 50% of the property’s value.
Of course, this also includes any debts that are associated with the assets.
For example, if there is a mortgage on the house, it is going to be split in the same manner. This is done to make sure things are being divided in a way that is fair to both parties.
As mentioned before, it still depends on how long the marriage lasted. This is not going to be likely if the marriage was less than a year-long and there are other variables to account for during the process too.
Since it is complicated to go through all of this information on your own, we recommend reaching out to us by calling [PHONE].
How is Child Custody Decided?
Child custody is an intricate part of any divorce proceedings.
This means the judge will go through all relevant factors while assessing what needs to happen with the custody rights. This includes what is better for the children and sometimes what their opinion is on the matter based on their age.
This is critical and tends to involve multiple steps along the way including assessing both partners for their safety as legal guardians.
The state will make sure to hear both sides during the process along with going through any custody paperwork associated with these legal rights.
If you want to fight for your children’s custody rights, it is best to have our support with you by calling [PHONE].
What is Alimony and How is it Decided?
Alimony refers to any form of spousal support as deemed necessary by the state.
This includes a spouse having to pay their partner a set amount based on their circumstances. There is a legal process associated with this aspect of a divorce and the amount will also be dictated after the judge goes through relevant information involving both partners.
This spousal support will vary when it comes to how long it lasts. Sometimes, alimony will be temporary while other times it is going to be permanent. This is all written in the divorce decree that is set up along with how the alimony payments are going to be made. The judge will have to account for the financial needs of one partner.
Judges will usually look at both individuals based on their income. This includes whether or not there is a disparity between both partners that is highly unequal. They will also take into account the amount of time that was spent together as a married couple.
This information tends to play a role in whether or not the judge deems it necessary for alimony to be paid.
If the marriage hasn’t lasted for a long time, the judge is unlikely to move forward with an alimony payment structure.
For those who do have to pay alimony, it can come in two different payment setups – lump sum (one-time payment) or periodic payments (monthly).
It is also important to note any lump sum payments cannot be changed after they have been made. They are binding after they are approved by the judge. While periodic payments have an end date with conditions (i.e. partner remarries, either spouse passes away, the individual retires).
