Led by attorney Brett Anthon, we bring decades of experience in family law to help local individuals and families navigate transitions confidently, securely, and with dignity.

A Caring Approach to Family Law

Family law issues often touch upon some of the most personal aspects of your life, and we believe these matters require more than just legal expertise. At Anthon Law, we strive to provide a supportive environment where you can openly discuss your concerns without fear of judgment.

Whether you’re facing a divorce, determining child custody, or seeking to modify child support arrangements, we’re committed to listening to your story, understanding your goals, and empowering you to make informed choices. Our goal isn’t simply to resolve legal disputes; it’s to restore stability and peace of mind, ensuring that you and your family feel protected and cared for throughout the process.

Guiding You Through Adoption and Guardianship

Few experiences are as fulfilling as welcoming a new family member, but the legal procedures involved in adoption or establishing guardianship can feel overwhelming. That’s where we come in.

Anthon Law handles everything from step-parent adoptions to private, agency-involved, or kinship adoptions, managing the paperwork, explaining legal requirements, and helping you understand each step. If guardianship is necessary—whether caring for a minor child or a dependent adult—we will streamline the process and ensure that your guardianship arrangement prioritizes the best interests of those you love.

Clarifying Paternity and Ensuring Fair Support

Establishing paternity is critical for many families, as it lays the groundwork for paternal rights, responsibilities, and connections that can last a lifetime. At Anthon Law, we handle paternity matters with respect and sensitivity, recognizing the emotional weight they can carry. Once paternity is established, it may also influence child support decisions.

As circumstances change—be it employment status, health considerations, or educational needs—we’re here to help you seek modifications to ensure that child support arrangements remain fair, balanced, and beneficial for everyone involved. Our team believes that when legal structures support a family’s true needs, everyone thrives.

Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements

Significant commitments, like marriage, naturally inspire questions about the future. Anthon Law can help you create prenuptial and postnuptial agreements that reflect your unique values and priorities.

These legally sound documents provide clarity and security, allowing couples to enter new life chapters with mutual understanding and respect for each other’s financial interests. We carefully draft and review these agreements to ensure they align with Idaho’s legal standards and alter their terms to serve your long-term well-being.

Unique Idaho Laws and What to Watch For

Idaho has unique laws and legal nuances that can significantly impact your case, especially in family law matters. For example, Idaho is a community property state, meaning all assets and debts acquired during marriage are generally divided equally during divorce. Understanding how this impacts property division is crucial when planning your legal strategy. Additionally, Idaho courts prioritize the “best interest of the child” in custody and support cases, which can influence parenting plans, visitation schedules, and financial arrangements.

Another consideration is the state’s approach to prenuptial and postnuptial agreements. While these agreements are enforceable in Idaho, they must meet strict legal requirements to hold up in court. Failing to comply with these standards can render your agreement invalid. At Anthon Law, we ensure that all documents are prepared meticulously to meet Idaho’s specific legal criteria.

Finally, for those navigating adoption, guardianship, or paternity issues, Idaho has its own procedural requirements, such as strict filing timelines and the involvement of certain agencies. Missteps in these processes can lead to unnecessary delays or complications.
