Uncontested Divorce Attorney In Idaho
An Idaho uncontested divorce (or no contest divorce) allows you and your spouse to control the outcome of your divorce without occurring unnecessary expenses and delays. At Taylor Law & Mediation PLLC, most of the process can be completed online, no matter where you live.
During a no contest divorce in Idaho, one party hires an attorney to draft the required paperwork to get divorced, the parties review and sign the paperwork, and in most cases, can get divorced without having to appear in front of a judge. A lot of people can decide the outcome of their divorce themselves and just need help drafting and filing the required paperwork. This process was designed for them.
Some states have uncontested divorce by statute. Idaho does not, so it’s essential to understand the process above. An attorney can’t represent more than one party in a lawsuit, but that doesn’t mean that clients can’t waive their right to confidentiality between their attorney and their spouse and work towards the same goal of getting divorced quickly without acquiring additional expenses.
Uncontested divorces in Idaho can be used to resolve most divorce issues: child custody, child support, property and debt distribution, military retirement plans and accounts, restoring wife to her maiden name, and almost all other disputes. All that is required is the ability to agree with your spouse that you wish to get divorced and that you generally agree what the outcome should look like. Whether you live in Star, Boise, Middleton, Meridian, Nampa, Kuna, Mountain Home, Twin Falls, Idaho Falls, Coeur d’Alene, Garden City, Eagle, Caldwell, and throughout Idaho we can help!

No Contest Divorce FAQs
How long does it take to get a divorce in Idaho?
In an Idaho uncontested divorce, the parties can control the pace of their own divorce. The fastest a divorce can be granted under Idaho law is three weeks from the date the spouse is served with a copy of the Petition for Divorce. But some couples need additional time to reach an outcome that will work best for them.
It takes at least three weeks to get divorced because of the 21 day waiting period, but it can be as quick as 30 to 60 days. If you and your spouse are on agreement regarding the terms of your divorce it will go that quick, but if you and your spouse do not agree and you have to go to court. It can take eight to twelve months or even longer, depending on where you live in Idaho. If you live in a small county, things seem to go a little bit faster than if you live in a large county like Ada County, just due to the number of people who use the court system in each county.
