Community Property — 50/50 Division

Idaho community property is divided equally (50/50) unless both parties agree otherwise in the MSA. Courts routinely approve voluntary deviations.

Community property (divided equally): Income during marriage; property purchased with community funds; retirement contributions during marriage.

Separate property (stays with owner): Pre-marital property; gifts; inheritances — must be traceable and not commingled.

Idaho Child Support Guidelines

Idaho uses an income shares model:

1. Determine both parents' gross monthly income
2. Apply standard deductions (taxes, FICA, prior court-ordered support)
3. Use the Idaho Child Support Schedule (by combined income and number of children)
4. Allocate between parents by their share of combined income
5. Adjust for health insurance, childcare, parenting time

Duration: Idaho child support ends when the child turns 18 or graduates from high school, whichever is later (not to exceed age 19).

Spousal Maintenance — Idaho Factors

Idaho courts may award spousal maintenance (Idaho Code § 32-705). Courts consider:

• Financial resources of the spouse seeking maintenance
• Time needed to acquire education/training
• Duration of the marriage
• Age and physical/emotional condition
• Ability of the paying spouse to meet own needs while paying
• Tax consequences
• Fault (in some circumstances)
