Boise Divorce Attorney, Idaho Family Law Lawyers, Custody Attorneys, call (208) 472-2383, divorce, custody, paternity, child support, modification, visitation, adoption, termination, domestic violence and all family law issues.
As a Boise Divorce Attorney when dealing with divorce or custody cases, the issue of paternity often comes up. There are many reasons why a Boise Divorce Attorney may want to establish or disestablish paternity. Child support and visitation are the most common reasons why Boise Divorce Attorneys request that paternity testing is done. Divorce Lawyers in Boise also deal with establishing paternity in relation to the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare when a child is on state assistance such as Medicaid.
There are two ways which Boise Divorce Lawyers can deal with establishing paternity in Idaho. The first and most obvious is the paternity test. This is a fairly expensive test, though less so than in the past. The Idaho Department of Health and Welfare requires this test for all children on state assistance born out of wedlock. Why does the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare require that paternity testing be done? When a mother is on state assistance, the state collects child support from the father of the child as a means of reimbursement for state services and to ensure support for the child. Requiring a paternity test ensures that the State of Idaho is collecting support from the right father for the right child.
As a Boise Divorce Attorney sometimes clients tell me there is no issue of paternity for their child who was born out of wedlock, but will an Idaho Court accept paternity of a child born out of wedlock based upon a parental statement? In fact, they will if the proper criteria are met. There are three people involved in a paternity statement when a child is born out of wedlock and each of these three people must make a sworn statement to the Court declaring paternity. Firstly, the mother must swear that the child was conceived either out of wedlock or prior to the marriage and at that time she did not have sexual relations with her current husband. Secondly, the husband must swear that he did not have sexual relations with the mother before they were married. Finally, the father of the child must swear that he had sexual relations with the mother before she got married to her current husband. Now, can you imagine this ever happening? Boise Divorce Attorneys can attest to the fact that this, in fact, does occasionally happen.
So what happens if these three parties swear to paternity and at some point down the road the parties are estranged, a divorce and custody battle ensues and it turns out that the child is actually the child of the husband? Sounds like a soap opera, doesn't it? But, as a Boise Divorce Attorney, I can tell you it does actually happen. Here it can get ugly. If your Boise Divorce Lawyer can prove that the mother of the child was intentionally lying and knew who the real father was, she can be ordered to pay back the child support that was paid to her. While this does not rise to the level of a criminal law issue and you won't need a Boise Criminal Attorney to defend you, the court does not look kindly on this. Boise Criminal Lawyers see cases of fraud like this all the time, but this particular form of deceit is handled by a domestic statute rather than by a criminal law statute. If there is no proof to that effect, your Boise Divorce Attorneys will submit a new order to the court stating who the father is and what the child support amount should be.
If you have a paternity issue or any other Idaho Family Law issue and need to speak to a Boise Divorce Attorney or an Idaho Family Law Lawyer, please call, (208) 472-2383 or visit our website and fill out a quick contact form. One of our Boise Divorce Attorneys or Boise Family Law Lawyers will get right back to you.

Boise Divorce Attorney - Boise Family Law Lawyers - Boise Custody Attorney - Out of State Custody Issues
Boise Divorce Attorney, Boise Family Law Lawyers, Boise Custody Attorney, call (208) 472-2383 free consultation, divorce, custody, modification, visitation, child support, adoption, termination, domestic violence, all family law issues.
Custody issues are routinely litigated in Idaho Courts, but when can you bring a custody issue in an Idaho Court? This is a regular question heard by Boise Divorce Attorneys. You can file for divorce in Idaho after you have resided here for six weeks. Custody, however, is a different issue. You cannot file for custody in Idaho unless the child has resided here for 6 months.
As a Boise Divorce Attorney I often see cases where the parties have lived in a different jurisdiction, they decide to divorce and one party or the other moves to Idaho. They often don't file for divorce until they come to Idaho. So what happens when they move here and want to divorce and have their custody issues heard? They can file for divorce, but they cannot have an Idaho Court hear their custody issues for 6 months. In a sense, this is a bifurcated action.
As a Boise Divorce Attorney, I regularly see people who have left one jurisdiction or the other without the consent of the other parent. So, what happens then? Can the other parent can file for custody, and for divorce in the state where they reside? There is something known as the Uniform Child Custody Act which allows an Idaho Court to throw the custody issues back to the child's home state. But the act also does allow an Idaho Court to exercise jurisdiction if there is an imminent danger to the child. Boise Divorce Lawyers often see this when one parent won't allow another parent to exercise visitation across state lines. Another issue where Boise Divorce Lawyers see the Uniform Child Custody Act in action is when one parent moves to another state with the child without the other parent's permission.
So what happens when one parent moves to Idaho with a child and the other parent has never set foot in Idaho? Does Idaho have jurisdiction over the child? If the parent not residing in Idaho does nothing for 6 months then Idaho can exercise jurisdiction. But, as a Boise Divorce Attorney I would not suggest that you do nothing. There are special rules about jurisdiction and if you have never been to Idaho you will want a Boise Divorce Attorney to file a special appearance for you so that Idaho cannot exercise jurisdiction over you. An analogy for this might be if you committed a crime in state x, you could not be tried in Idaho for that crime because you do not have any contact in Idaho. Any Boise Criminal Lawyer would never allow you to submit yourself to Idaho jurisdiction. Likewise, if you have never been to Idaho, an Idaho Court will not here your custody issue, unless your child has been here for 6 months. So if you don't live in Idaho but a custody action is filed here before the child lives here for 6 months, a Boise Divorce Lawyer will go to court for you to tell the Idaho Court that it does not have control over you. The odd thing is that if you, yourself come to Idaho, then Idaho can exercise jurisdiction over you. Boise Divorce Attorneys facing this issue will inform the court that they do not have jurisdiction over you or the child and therefore the custody issue cannot be heard in Idaho, unless of course there is imminent harm to the child. Just like Boise Criminal Lawyers, Boise Divorce Lawyers want to make certain that you do not subject yourself to jurisdiction when no control is warranted by an Idaho Court.
If you have a custody issue in Idaho or are seeking a divorce in Idaho and you need to speak to a Boise Family Law Lawyer, please call, (208) 472-2383 or visit our website.

Boise Divorce Attorney - Custody Lawyers - Family Law Attorneys - Name Change in Idaho
Boise Divorce Attorney, Boise Custody Lawyers, Boise Family Law Attorneys in Idaho, call (208) 472-2383, free consultation or visit www.lawboiseid.com, divorce, custody, support, all family law matters.
Boise Family Law Attorneys frequently get the question of, "how do I change my name in Idaho" or "can I change my name in Idaho"? There are many instances where you might want to change your name. For example, you might consult a Boise Divorce Attorney about a name change if your divorce decree did not order your name be changed and you decide that you would like to have your maiden name back. Another situation where a name change would be in order would be in an adoption situation. In the original adoption you can request that the child's name be changed but if it was omitted for some reason, a Boise Family Law Lawyer can file a separate petition for name change. Still another reason you might seek a name change would be in a custody situation. If one parent is ordered sole legal custody, for example, that parent may want to discuss the possibility of a name change with a Boise Custody Attorney. A final example of a name change that doesn't involve divorce, custody or adoption, is personal preference. Boise Family Law Lawyers sometimes hear that people simply don't like their names, and they can help you to change your name legally.
Boise Divorce Attorneys regularly request that a party's name be changed back to their maiden name pursuant to a divorce decree. Boise Custody Lawyers also regularly request that a child's name be changed when sole custody is ordered. Likewise, Boise Family Law Lawyers regularly request that a child's name be changed pursuant to an adoption. What then do you do if this request is not made, or you simply want to change your name?
Name change is a fairly simple process. Idaho Code Title 7 Chapter 8 deals with a name change in Idaho. You must file a petition in the county where you reside. In addition, the petition must state your current name, proposed name change, reason for changing it, your place of birth and where you reside. Once your petition is filed you must run a notice in your local paper for 4 consecutive weeks. After that time has run you can have a hearing for your name change.
The four weeks gives parties who might object to your name change a chance to hire an attorney and contest the name change.
If you need to speak to a Boise Family Law Lawyer, please call (208) 472-2383 or visit one of our websites. www.lawboiseid.com or www.divorceboiseid.com.

Boise DUI Lawyers - Idaho Criminal Attorneys - Military DUI
Boise DUI Lawyers, Idaho Criminal Attorneys, Boise Divorce Attorney, Idaho Family Law Lawyer, call (208) 472-2383, DUI, DWP Criminal Defense, Divorce, Custody, Family Law, Military Divorce, Military DUI.
Being charged with a DUI is one thing, but being charged with a military DUI or being a civilian and being charged with a DUI on a military base is something entirely different. Just like military divorce and custody issues, military DUI issues have additional rules and laws and therefore a military DUI will have additional consequences and penalties.
Boise DUI Lawyers who specialize in military cases are intricately familiar with the different types of cases involving the military and a DUI.
The first type of military DUI is when a member of the United States Armed Services gets a DUI off a military base. In a non-military DUI, Boise DUI Lawyers are dealing with two different aspects of the driving under the influence case. First, there is an administrative aspect, where the Boise DUI Lawyer deals with the Idaho Department of Transportation. Here, you will receive an administrative suspension of your driver's license. The second aspect of the DUI is where you and your Boise DUI Attorney go to an Idaho Court and deal with Idaho Law. Here you face the court and the state's lawyer, the prosecuting attorney, and ultimately you are convicted, plea or found not guilty to a DUI.
If you are a service member and you get a DUI, not only do you have to deal with this aspect of your driving under the influence charge, but you also have to deal with military rules and penalties. These are outlined in Article 111 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice and the Manual for Court Martial. You are potentially on for a stiffer sentence, because in addition to state court penalties including fines, possible jail time, license suspension, alcohol evaluation, a functioning vehicle ignition interlock device and probation, you can receive additional penalties from the military court. These can include a rank reduction, pay reduction, loss of security clearance, additional fines, a reprimand or even a dishonorable discharge. There is no maximum penalty set by military law for a military DUI. There are additional penalties because the military has its own jurisdiction and just like military divorce and custody there are additional rules promulgated by the military.
A second DUI issue involving the military that Boise DUI Lawyers see is when a civilian gets a DUI on a military base. You likely will be charged in Federal Court instead of Idaho Court, but depending upon where you were charged and if there is overlapping jurisdiction you may be charged by an Idaho State Court. You will receive a letter in the mail informing you what court your case will be brought in so it is very important that you keep your eyes open for this. If it is in Idaho Court, you will need a Boise DUI Lawyer. If it is in Federal Court you will need a Boise DUI Attorney who practices in Federal Court. Even if your case is brought in Federal Court, in general Idaho Law will apply because of a principle called assimilation which allows Idaho Law to be used. The penalties in general mirror state penalties but the Federal Prosecuting Attorneys have more ability to be flexible than State Prosecuting Attorneys and consequently it can actually be easier to avoid jail time and probationary periods.
The military is a world of its own. It has its own jurisdiction as well as concurrent jurisdiction with individual states. Whether the issue is one of a criminal charge, a DUI or matters of divorce, custody or contract, to name a few, there are often special rules involving military cases.
If you have a military issue and need to speak to a Boise DUI Lawyer or Criminal Attorney, or a Boise Divorce Attorney or Family Law or Custody Lawyer who deals with military DUI, military criminal defense, military divorce or military family law and custody issues, please call, (208) 472-2383.

Boise Divorce Attorney - Child Custody Lawyers - Family Law Attorneys - Divorce Statistics in Idaho
Boise Divorce Attorney Lawyers, Custody Attorneys Lawyer, (208) 472-2383, free consultation, divorce, custody, family law in Idaho.
Divorce statistics are obviously interesting to Boise Divorce Attorneys. As a Boise Divorce Attorney I see correlation between increased divorce clientele and the statistical divorce rate.
The United States Census Bureau keeps and distributes statistics on individuals and businesses in the United States as well as for individual states. Every 10 years a new census is taken. Often these statistics are compared to previous years and take different angles on information assessed.
As a Boise Divorce Attorney I am interested in the rate of marriage and divorce in Idaho. The marriage rate in Idaho increased only slightly between 1990 and 2008. In 1990 there were 14,100 marriages. In 2008 there were 14,600 (census.gov). In comparison to the leveling off of marriage in Idaho, the divorce rate increased substantially. In 1990 there were 6,600 divorces. By 2008, there were 7,400. In 1990 the divorce rate in Idaho was just under 47%. By 2008 the divorce rate increased to just under 51%. How does Idaho compare to the United States? While the Census Bureau has not provided those percentages for 2008, there is a general consensus that the divorce rate hovers between 50-51%.
Another interesting factor to Boise Divorce Attorneys is the actual decline in anniversaries celebrated. As a Boise Divorce Attorney I often hear couples lament that a divorce is happening between them or their friends after numerous years of marriage. This, it turns out, is more common than you would think. The Census Bureau reports that the number of couples reaching subsequently more years of marriage declines at a fairly rapid rate. For example, in 1959 96.4% of men and 94% of women reached their 5th anniversary. By the fortieth anniversary, only 61.4% of men and 54.7% of women were still married. In contrast, by 1994 only 89.4% of men and 87.2% of women reached their 5th anniversary and only 70% of men and 69.2% of women reached their 10th anniversary.
Another interesting statistic to Boise Divorce Lawyers and Custody Attorneys reported by the Census Bureau is the number of households living without a spouse. In 1990 there were 2,884,000 men and 10,890,000 women living in a household in without a spouse. By 2009 that number increased to 5,252,000 for men and 14,480,000 women living in a household without a spouse. Of those household, 22.8 % of of children under 18 lived solely with their mother and only 3.4% were living in the sole custody of their fathers. What that statistic translates into for Boise Divorce Lawyers is more kids living with only one parent and more custody issues.
An interesting factor reported by the Census Bureau, but without context or explanation as to how it fits within divorce and custody statistics, is that the number of stay-at-home parents has increased by 749,000 between 1995 and 2009.
After reviewing these statistics it is clear that the number of divorce and custody cases in Idaho is on the increase. While statistics are interesting they just address the facts. They don't shed any light on the cause of divorce or the increase in the number of divorce cases.
