Alimony in Boise: how it is calculated
Alimony in Boise follows Idaho law, not a local rule — the same statute applies whether the case is filed in Ada County or anywhere else in the state. Here is what that formula produces, and where a Boise case is actually heard.
Where a Boise case goes
A divorce filed in Boise is heard by the Idaho court for Ada County. The judge applies the state statute below; the county sets the filing procedure, not the amount. Boise has about 237,963 residents (Census Bureau, 2024 estimate).

Type
Discretionary (case by case)
Does Boise have its own rule?
No. Idaho Code § 32-705 applies across Idaho, so a case from Boise is decided by the same numbers as one filed anywhere else in the state. What changes locally is the courthouse, the clerk's procedure and how long the docket takes — not the amount.
What the statute says
Idaho Code § 32-705 — Idaho spousal maintenance factors.
