If you're over 50 and facing divorce in Coeur d'Alene, custody battles aren't your concern—your children are grown. Instead, you're dividing Lake Coeur d'Alene waterfront property, resort assets, and retirement accounts under Idaho's community property in one of the Northwest's most scenic resort communities.
Coeur d'Alene attracts retirees and second-home owners drawn to stunning lake views, resort amenities, and proximity to Spokane.
You spent 40 years building retirement savings. Now you're dividing them in 6 months — at an age when there's no second chance.
If you're 60+ and give up $200,000 in pension benefits you were entitled to, you're not going to make that back. There's no overtime at this stage. No side hustle. No waiting 15 years for the market to recover.
Idaho's community property law means 50/50 division — but not all assets are equal. The lakefront house isn't the same as the 401(k). Tax treatment turns "half" into 40% or 60% depending on which half you take. One wrong decision about your Coeur d'Alene property could echo for the rest of your life.
Your pension has survivor benefit options. Your Social Security has spousal and ex-spousal claiming strategies. Your lakefront home has a cost basis that affects capital gains. Every asset has rules — and getting them wrong costs more than you can afford.
You need someone who can project exactly what you'll live on for the next 25 years — before you sign anything you can't take back.
