We Stand Our Ground When Protecting Your Rights
In Idaho, a grant of alimony or spousal maintenance is determined on a case-by-case basis. We will examine the circumstances and help you determine if alimony is appropriate and, if so, the duration and amount of spousal support that should be paid.
Under Idaho's community property laws, significant issues often arise regarding the division of marital assets in a divorce. Because the community property statutes require that all property obtained during the marriage be divided substantially equally unless there are compelling reasons otherwise, assets that are difficult to value or impossible to divide can lead to disputes. We work closely with clients to establish property distribution plans that fairly divide assets including:
- Business assets — We work with accountants to obtain fair and accurate valuation of business assets.
- Real property — We help clients ensure that any real property is properly appraised and accounted for in the property settlement, including real property brought into the marriage by one party, but refinanced during the marriage.
- Retirement plans — We prepare and review QDROs (Qualified Domestic Relations Orders) to ensure that retirement assets are properly included in the accounting of marital assets.
- Separate Assets — We protect our clients' separate assets.
