Idaho Child Custody State Law

Idaho Code, Title 32, Section 717 (r.c. Sec. 32-717).

In an action for divorce the court may, before and after judgment, give such direction for the custody, care, and education of the children of the marriage as may seem necessary or proper in the best interests of the children. The court shall consider all relevant factors which may include: the wishes of the child’s parent or parents as to his or her custody; the wishes of the child as to his or her custodian; the interaction and interrelationship of the child with his or her parent or parents, and his or her siblings; the child’s adjustment to his or her home, school, and community; the mental and physical health and integrity of all individuals involved; the need to promote continuity and stability in the life of the child; and whether or not domestic violence occurred in the presence of the child. In any case where the child is actually residing with a grandparent in a stable relationship, the court may recognize the grandparent as having the same standing as a parent for evaluating what custody arrangements are in the best interests of the child.
