Alaska Court System Self-Help

If you are currently married and AGREE about ALL of the details of the following issues then use Dissolution Packet #1, DR-1.

• ending the marriage
• taking back a prior name
• dividing property and debt (including retirement)
• parenting plan (legal custody and physical custody and visitation schedule)
• child support
• disestablishing the paternity of the husband as the father of the child(ren)

NOTES: Both parties must sign every page of the Dissolution Packet. If, for some reason, this is not possible in your situation, you can still get divorced by using the Divorce Complaint Packet, SHC-PAC1A.
OR
Use the Uncontested Complaint for Divorce with Children Packet, SHC-PAC9A; it is strongly suggested that you use this form if you are filing in Fairbanks and at least one spouse is a military member because the court prefers SHC-PAC9A instead of the Dissolution Packet #1, DR-1.

If you are currently married and DISAGREE about ANY of the details of the following issues then use Divorce Complaint Packet, SHC-PAC1A.

• ending the marriage
• taking back a prior name
• dividing property and debt (including retirement)
• parenting plan
• child support
• disestablishing the paternity of the husband as the father of the child(ren)

• parenting plan (legal custody and physical custody and visitation schedule)

If you have minor children together, but are not married to each other, and need a custody and/or support order, then use:

• Custody Complaint Packet, DR-414, OR
• the Custody Complaint Packet, SHC-PAC3A (If the father’s name isn't on the birth certificate or the paternity of the child’s father hasn’t been established yet, you can use this form to deal with both paternity and custody issues.)

For unmarried parents dealing with child custody, if parents AGREE about ALL of the details of the following issues then use Uncontested Complaint for Custody Packet, SHC-PAC10.

• legal custody
