How custody works in Idaho
Idaho courts determine custody based on the best interests of the child and may award joint custody to promote cooperative parenting.
Idaho custody cases are filed in District Court and heard by a Magistrate Judge in the Magistrate Division. Idaho does not mandate mediation statewide, but individual judicial districts may require it in contested cases. Joint custody may be awarded if both parents agree, or the court may order it if the evidence supports it. The court may appoint a guardian ad litem to investigate and make recommendations. Idaho law requires 30 days' advance written notice before a custodial parent can relocate with a child.
Cases from Boise are filed in Ada County and heard in the Ada County Magistrate Court, Family Division. The court that hears your case is determined by where the children have been living, not by where either parent works.

Civly is not a law firm and this page is not legal advice. Custody law and the rules of evidence vary from state to state, and individual judges apply them differently. For advice about your own case, speak to a family law attorney licensed in Idaho. Civly launched in 2026 and is not named in many court orders yet — if your order already requires a specific platform, keep using it and ask your attorney before switching.
