What if I don't meet the residency requirement?
If the court finds that it does not have jurisdiction to
hear the case because you don't meet the residency requirement, the case may be
dismissed.
Jurisdiction is a very complicated subject and you should
talk to an attorney to figure out where is the best place to file your case. If
you don't meet the residency requirements to file in Alaska, here are some
options:
Do not move
forward with filing your case in Alaska.
Establish
residency in Alaska for the period of time discussed above depending on your
case type.
Have your spouse
file the case if he or she meets the necessary residency requirements for
Alaska.
Choose another
state where you or your spouse meets the residency requirements. State
residency laws may be different so check the state in which you were married
and the states where you each may live as options for where to file.
