How Alaska Handles Child Custody
In Alaska, custody cases are heard in the superior court, and judges decide custody based on the best interests of the child. The court looks at factors such as each parent’s ability to meet the child’s needs, the stability of each home, and each parent’s willingness to support the child’s relationship with the other parent.
Alaska law allows shared custody, and the court considers the child’s preference if the child is old enough to form one. A history of domestic violence creates a presumption against giving custody to that parent.
Unmarried fathers: paternity must be legally established, through a signed acknowledgment of paternity or a court order, before an Alaska father can ask the court for custody or visitation.
An Alaska family law attorney can explain how these rules apply to your situation and what to expect in your county’s court.
