14. IDAHO JURISDICTIONAL NOTES

• Residency: The filing spouse must have been a resident of Idaho for six full weeks before commencing the divorce action (Idaho Code § 32-701).
• Grounds: No-fault (irreconcilable differences) or fault-based including adultery, extreme cruelty, willful desertion, willful neglect, habitual intemperance, conviction of a felony, or permanent insanity (Idaho Code § 32-603).
• Property Classification: Property acquired after marriage is generally community property under Idaho Code § 32-906, subject to the section's specific exceptions. Separate property is described in § 32-903. Unless compelling reasons support a different result, the court divides community property substantially equally in value, considering debts (§ 32-712).
• Spousal Maintenance: A court may grant maintenance only if it finds that the requesting spouse lacks sufficient property for reasonable needs and cannot support themselves through employment. Amount and duration turn on the relevant factors listed in Idaho Code § 32-705.
