Community property — substantially equal division (statutory presumption)

Idaho is a community property state: §32-906 classifies property acquired after marriage as community property, and §32-712(1)(a) requires a “substantially equal division in value, considering debts, between the spouses” unless there are compelling reasons otherwise. §32-712(1)(b) lists seven factors bearing on deviation: the duration of the marriage; any antenuptial agreement; each spouse's age, health, occupation, amount and source of income, vocational skills, employability, and liabilities; the needs of each spouse; whether the apportionment is in lieu of or in addition to maintenance; each spouse's present and potential earning capability; and retirement benefits, including social security, civil service, military, and railroad retirement.

Division Factors

The following factors are commonly evaluated under Idaho law:

  1. Duration of the marriage (§32-712(1)(b)(1))
  2. Any antenuptial agreement of the parties (§32-712(1)(b)(2))
  3. Age, health, occupation, amount and source of income, vocational skills, employability, and liabilities of each spouse (§32-712(1)(b)(3))
  4. Needs of each spouse (§32-712(1)(b)(4))
  5. Whether the apportionment is in lieu of or in addition to maintenance (§32-712(1)(b)(5))
  6. Present and potential earning capability of each party (§32-712(1)(b)(6))
  7. Retirement benefits, including, but not limited to, social security, civil service, military, and railroad retirement benefits (§32-712(1)(b)(7))

Idaho Community Property

Idaho is a community property state governed by Idaho Code §32-906 (classification) and §32-712 (division). Unless there are compelling reasons otherwise, the community estate must be divided substantially equally in value, considering debts; §32-712(1)(b) lists seven factors — duration, antenuptial agreements, each spouse's circumstances, needs, maintenance interplay, earning capability, and retirement benefits — that can justify deviation. Separate property, owned before marriage or received by gift or inheritance, is not divided.
