As a Boise Divorce Attorney I often get calls from people wondering if it is better to bring a divorce and custody action in one county or another. First, let me say that your divorce and custody action has to be filed in the county where you reside. If, however, you have just moved say to Ada County from Canyon County and you still have property in Canyon County but also have property in Ada County and perhaps your children still reside in Canyon County, you are one of the few lucky ones who can choose in which county to file for divorce.
Divorce attorneys can tell you there are differences between counties when it comes to divorce and custody. Divorce in smaller counties is quicker simply because the case load is a lot less. Custody in Idaho is determined by the best interest of the child using and considering factors outlined in the Idaho Code. How these are applied differs between counties. In addition, some counties require that you undergo a home study. Some counties require that you go through mediation. It is the job of divorce lawyers to present the court with evidence that supports how their client meets the criteria for the best interest of the child. It is the judge's job to make the ultimate custody decision
