These Are the 9 Legal Grounds For Divorce in the State of Idaho in 2024
When you’re picking colors, putting together the request list for your DJ and adding items to your registry, divorce is probably the last thing you’re thinking about. After all, you’re about to embark on that road to “happily ever after.”
Unfortunately, marriage doesn’t always play out like the lyrics of some beautiful Bryan Adams, John Legend or Ed Sheeran song. Major life events happen. Past traumas creep up. Couples find themselves facing situations that they never dreamed of when they exchanged “I dos” years ago. Thanks to apps like Better Help, Talkspace and ReGain, access to marriage counselors and mental health professionals has never been easier. While that access has really made a difference for some couples, sometimes it’s just not enough and it’s better to go separate ways.
Divorce is never easy, but if you’ve ultimately decided it’s the best thing for all parties involved, do you know what it takes to get divorced in Idaho? According to Dads Divorce, Idaho is the fourth easiest state to get divorce in the country. To get divorced, the plaintiff only needs to have a permanent residence in Idaho for six weeks before proceeding with the request to divorce their spouse. From there, there’s a 21-day waiting period for taking the next steps.
We’re both a no-fault and fault divorce state. No fault means you don’t have to prove that you need to prove that your spouse did anything wrong. Fault means you’ll need to prove your spouse did something that falls under one of Idaho’s “causes for divorce” and that’s why you’re choosing to file.
So what are Idaho’s legal “causes for divorce?” There’s a section of the Idaho Code that spells it out pretty plainly.

I remember watching a documentary about Idaho’s wildlands. A narrator said there were probably many parts of the state where no human being has ever set foot. I believe that, but I stay relatively close to the highways. If I were 30 years younger, I would probably enjoy exploring the back country, but today, unless a plane takes me in and out, it’s not happening. I can’t say definitively that there is one spot that I find better than others. We’re surrounded by beautiful terrain, however. One place keeps calling me back.
Like a Scene from a Legendary Movie
When I go over the mountain between Gooding and Fairfield, I take time to stop at the overlook above the Camas Prairie. It reminds me of a scene in Exodus, where the Paul Newman character takes an American woman to look across a flat plain leading to Mount Tabor. He explains that’s the site where Deborah gathered her armies. It makes me feel there is something godly about the Camas Prairie. I keep going back to this spot. Sometimes I take along a folding chair and sit and look at the world below.
Slow Down and See the Work of the Creator
Fairfield may be nothing more than a blip as people speed down Route 20, but it’s their loss. On the other side of the highway is some of the prettiest country in Idaho. It’s going to be a lot less lush this spring, but drought conditions haven’t been nearly as severe in the central highlands. But if I’m granted a few more years by the Almighty, I plan to see the prairie for many more springs.
