Frequently Asked Questions
How is child custody determined in Idaho?
Idaho courts determine custody based on the best interests of the child, considering factors such as each parent's wishes, the child's relationship with each parent, stability of the home environment, and the child's adjustment to school and community. Courts do not favor one parent over the other based on gender.
What is the difference between legal and physical custody in Idaho?
Legal custody refers to a parent's authority to make major decisions about the child's education, healthcare, and religious upbringing. Physical custody determines where the child primarily lives. Idaho courts can award both types as sole or joint custody depending on what serves the child's best interests.
Can a custody order be modified in Idaho?
Yes. Idaho allows custody modifications when there has been a substantial and material change in circumstances affecting the child's well-being. The parent requesting the change must demonstrate that modification is in the child's best interests. Common reasons include relocation, changes in a parent's living situation, or concerns about the child's safety.
