ALASKA Part 31

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.
