Family Law

Generally, family law involves issues such as: 

  • Adoption
  • Child Custody
  • Child Support
  • Divorce
  • Domestic Violence
  • Paternity
  • Spousal Support
  • Visitation
  • Civil Protection Orders 

However, Idaho Legal Aid Services is limited in the types of family law cases we can accept. We may provide legal help to families in the following types of cases: 

  • Civil protection orders, divorce, establishing or modifying custody, visitation, and/or child support, where domestic violence is present, or
  • Guardianships for seniors or minors (some offices only). 

We accept cases based on program priorities, available staff, and funding in each local office. To apply for legal help in any of these areas, please visit the "Get Help" section in our upper navigation bar.
