ALASKA Part 17

What if I can't make the dissolution hearing?

If you cannot attend the dissolution hearing in person, you have some options.
Ask to participate by telephone

If you and your spouse agree to the telephonic appearance, you can both file the Joint Motion form together that asks the court to allow one or both of you to be on the phone:

    Joint Motion, Affidavit & Order to Appear and Testify by Telephone, SHC-1342 Word | PDF

If you and your spouse do not agree to the telephonic appearance, you can file the following motion that asks the court to allow you to be on the phone:

    Motion, Affidavit & Order to Appear & Testify By Telephone, SHC-1340 Word | PDF

You need to provide your spouse with a copy of this Motion and fill out the certificate of service at the bottom.  For more information about serving the opposing party, see http://www.courts.alaska.gov/serve.htm.
Ask to waive your appearance

If you cannot be there in person or on the telephone, you can file a form that asks the court to have the hearing without you.

    Appearance and Waiver of Notice of Hearing,  DR-110 [Fill-in-PDF]


The court may need to call you so the form asks for a phone number to reach you, but this doesn't mean that the court will call you.
