Reviews From Past Clients
“Wow, there’s so much I have to say about Cordell & Cordell. I walked in with tears in my eyes hopeless because everything was taken a way from me. Father of 7 children that was told there’s no hope for the fathers now days. Cordell & Cordell welcomed me in their hands and proved everyone wrong. They were there for me and my children until the end.”

“It took years for me to come to a decision to end my marriage. I sought a law firm that is focused and prepared for trial if need be, and seeks to give me the best outcome possible. Cordell and Cordell has performed very well and is very supportive during this difficult time. I have full confidence in my representation and recommend them.”

I am very grateful to have had such amazing representation in the most important court case of my life! Thank you!”

“Divorce is hard enough without trying to find a Lawyer who will truly work for you. I had several conversations with Lawyers that seemed only interested in winning somehow. No one wins in a divorce. I should have went to Cordell & Cordell first so I would have avoided a lot of headaches. I met a group of people that genuinely care for you.”

Boise, ID Frequently Asked Questions
Idaho is a fault and no-fault state. It is not necessary to show that either one of the parties was at fault.
One statutory basis for a divorce in Idaho is that there is no reasonable likelihood that the marriage can be preserved and, therefore, the marriage is irretrievably broken.
If your spouse does not want a divorce and denies that the marriage is irretrievably broken, you may still obtain a divorce. You will need to show one of the following: adultery, extreme cruelty, willful neglect, willful desertion, habitual intemperance, and separation without cohabitation.
Yes, Idaho does allow divorces where the reason for divorce is irreconcilable differences and neither party is specifically at fault.
You should consult with an attorney who handles divorce cases to discuss proving fault.
An annulment is a decision by the court that the marriage was not legal from the beginning. Annulments are granted only in limited and unusual situations.
Annulments may be granted for marriages that are between persons between persons who lack the mental capacity to enter into a contract, where the marriage was entered into by force or fraud perpetrated by the other party or where one spouse was still legally married to another person.
In getting a divorce, you will most likely have to pay for attorney’s fees and court filing fees.
Depending on the facts of your case, the court may order you to pay maintenance (or alimony), child support, or other money to your spouse to divide your property, possibly including your spouse’s attorney’s fees.
It is certainly in your best interest to hire an experienced divorce attorney to make sure that your rights are asserted and your assets are protected in the long-term.
One of the issues that can affect the cost of a divorce is whether you and your spouse are agreeable to issues concerning the custody of your children, child support, maintenance, and the division of the property.
