Family Law Attorney in Eagle, Idaho
Over a Decade of Family Law Experience. One Attorney Who Handles Your Case.
When family matters reach a legal crossroads, Eagle residents need an attorney who brings both courtroom depth and real availability to their case. At Schoettger Fabreguette Law Office, attorney Lisa S. Fabreguette has spent over a decade handling family law matters throughout the Treasure Valley, from straightforward uncontested divorces to complex cases argued before the Idaho Supreme Court. We deliberately limit our annual caseload so you work directly with Lisa at every stage, not a rotating cast of paralegals or associates.
We represent Eagle clients across the full range of family law matters: divorce, child custody, child support, adoption, paternity, spousal support, property division, minor guardianship, mediation, and post-decree modifications. Consultations are available by phone or pre-paid in-person meeting.
If you’re facing a family law matter in Eagle or anywhere in Ada County, call our team today at (208) 701-6071 to discuss your situation and your options.
Family Law Services We Handle for Eagle Clients
Family law touches some of the most consequential decisions a person makes. Whether you’re ending a marriage, establishing paternity, or seeking a modification to an existing custody order, the stakes are high and the process isn’t always intuitive. We handle cases at every level of complexity, from simple uncontested modifications to divorces involving the valuation of real property, businesses, and personal property.
Divorce & Separation
We handle contested and uncontested divorces, legal separation, and military divorce. Idaho is a community property state, meaning assets and debts acquired during marriage are generally presumed to be equally owned by both spouses, though courts can deviate from equal division under certain circumstances. That legal framework shapes how we approach property division strategy from the first consultation forward. Idaho also imposes a minimum 21-day waiting period after the divorce petition is served before a divorce can be finalized.
Child Custody & Support
Idaho courts decide custody based on the best interests of the child, weighing each parent’s relationship with the child, ability to provide a stable home, and any history of domestic violence, among other factors. We help clients develop parenting plans and, when necessary, advocate for their position in court. Child support calculations follow Idaho’s statutory guidelines, and we work through those numbers carefully so the analysis reflects your actual circumstances.
Modifications, Adoption & More
Life changes after a court order is entered. Post-decree modifications to custody or support are available under Idaho law when a significant change in circumstances has occurred, such as a relocation or a substantial shift in income. We also handle adoption, paternity establishment, spousal support and alimony, and minor guardianship matters.
Filing a Family Law Case in Ada County
Eagle family law cases are filed at the Ada County Courthouse and heard under Idaho’s Fourth Judicial District. The Ada County Magistrate Court handles most family law matters; appeals and more complex civil issues go to the Fourth Judicial District Court. Familiarity with local filing requirements, procedural timelines, and how individual judicial officers approach contested issues can meaningfully affect how a case moves forward. Lisa spent her first 10 years of practice in Southern Idaho before opening her own firm in the Treasure Valley, and she continues to serve clients throughout Ada County and the broader region.

After Eagle Family Law
Why Eagle Families Choose Schoettger Fabreguette Law Office
A number of family law firms serve Ada County. What distinguishes our representation comes down to a few specific commitments.
Direct Attorney Access
We intentionally limit our caseload. That’s not marketing language. It’s a structural decision that means Lisa handles your case from the initial consultation through resolution. You won’t be handed off.
Court-Approved Child Custody Mediator
Since 2023, Lisa S. Fabreguette has been listed on the Idaho Supreme Court Roster to conduct child custody mediations. That credential means she brings a mediator’s understanding of negotiated resolution alongside a litigator’s ability to advocate when settlement isn’t the right path.
Idaho Supreme Court Experience
Lisa has argued before the Idaho Supreme Court. That appellate experience informs how she builds strategy at every level of a case, not just in the event of an appeal.
Bilingual Representation
Lisa is fluent in Spanish and knows American Sign Language, making our firm accessible to Eagle residents who need legal counsel in Spanish or who communicate through ASL.
Transparent Goal-Setting
We discuss your goals at the outset, walk through the advantages and disadvantages of each available path, and build a strategy around your specific circumstances rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
