Overview

Divorce in Idaho: the six-week state

Idaho is one of the fastest states in the country because its residency requirement is just six weeks — the shortest in the nation alongside a few others. You file the Complaint for Divorce with the District Court in your judicial district, and after your spouse is served, a 21-day waiting period runs before the court can enter the decree. An uncontested divorce can be finished in roughly two to three months from start to finish.

Like a handful of western states, Idaho is a community property state: income and assets acquired during the marriage belong to both spouses and are divided, while separate property — what you brought in or inherited — stays yours. Custody is decided under the best interests standard in I.C. § 32-717, and child support follows the Idaho Child Support Guidelines under I.C. § 32-706.

The no-fault ground is irreconcilable differences under I.C. § 32-603. The CAO forms come from the Idaho Court Self-Help Center, and the filing fee is about $207. Because the residency clock is so short, Idaho is a popular choice for people who can establish domicile and want to move quickly.
