How legal services costs vary in Idaho
State-specific code or insurance rule: Idaho Code § 32-701 lists 8 grounds for divorce including 'irreconcilable differences' as a no-fault ground alongside fault grounds (adultery, extreme cruelty, willful desertion, willful neglect, habitual intemperance, conviction of a felony) — and Idaho's 6-week (42-day) residency requirement under Idaho Code § 32-701 is one of the shortest in the country (matching Nevada's 6-week rule and second only to Alaska's 30 days) making Idaho a destination for cross-state divorce filing, plus Idaho's UBE minimum of 272 sits 2 points above the 270 median.
