Nampa Fathers Rights Attorney
Nampa is the largest city in Canyon County, west of Boise. The Law Offices of Jolley & Jolley represent fathers in Nampa and throughout the Treasure Valley in divorce, child custody, child support, paternity, and protective order matters.
If a Nampa case does require a court hearing, it falls under Idaho’s Third Judicial District Court, which covers Adams, Canyon, Gem, Owyhee, Payette, and Washington Counties. In practice, though, much of family law — the paperwork, negotiation, and mediation that resolve most cases — is handled without a courtroom appearance, and many hearings that do occur are held by video.
Nampa is a short drive from our Boise office, and much of a case can also be handled remotely, so meeting with us is convenient either way. From the first conversation, our aim is to give a Nampa father a clear picture of where he stands and a realistic plan for the next step.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which court handles a Nampa family law case?
Nampa is in Canyon County, served by Idaho’s Third Judicial District, which also covers Adams, Gem, Owyhee, Payette, and Washington Counties. Many divorce and custody matters, though, are resolved through negotiation and mediation without a hearing.
Can a father get joint custody in Idaho?
Often, yes. Idaho law includes a presumption that joint custody is in the best interests of the child, and custody is decided without a preference for either parent based on gender. A father’s active involvement in his children’s lives carries real weight.
How is child support calculated in Idaho?
Idaho sets child support under the Idaho Child Support Guidelines, based mainly on both parents’ incomes and the time each parent spends with the children. Because parenting time affects the figure, custody and support are usually handled together.
