ALASKA Part 13

Is there a residency requirement to file?

Yes. Either you or your spouse may file to end your marriage in Alaska as long as the filing spouse is a resident of the state. Generally, you are an Alaska resident for the purposes of filing for divorce or dissolution if you are in Alaska when you file and intend to stay as a resident. Also, if you don't live in Alaska and were married outside of Alaska, but your spouse is an Alaska resident, you can file in Alaska.
