Do the children need to be in Alaska to file for custody?
In order for the Alaska court to have jurisdiction or
authority to decide about child custody, a child normally must have been a resident
of the state for at least 6 months before filing the custody case. Otherwise,
the court may not have jurisdiction to decide custody issues. Sometimes there
can be exceptions to the six month residency requirement for children like if
the child is less than six months old or there is an emergency reason for the
Alaska court to decide custody.
