There are Minor Children and/or the Spouse is Pregnant
This page provides links to forms to start a court case involving children.
If you are married to the other parent, you will choose either the
dissolution
or divorce packet. If you are not married
to the other parent, you will choose the custody
packet.
Dissolution | Uncontested Divorce | Divorce | Custody for Unmarried Parents | Uncontested Custody | Other
Situations
Dissolution
If you are currently married and AGREE about ALL of the details of the following
issues:
- 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)
then use Dissolution Packet #1, DR-1
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.
