Before granting a final decree in divorce, custody or dissolution cases, the Alaska Court System requires parents to complete a parent education requirement. Most courts require viewing an approved video or completing an online internet class.
The parent education requirement for you will depend on your court location. The requirements for each location are listed below.
REMEMBER: You will be responsible for filing your Certificate of Completion once you complete your local court requirements. In dissolution cases, some courts require that both parents file their Certificate of Completion at the clerk's office at the same time they file their petition for dissolution. In those courts, this means that you must see the video or complete the on-line class BEFORE you file your dissolution packet with the court. Check with your local court to understand when you need to file the Certificate of Completion.
Please visit the Family Law Self-Help Center’s Parenting and Custody page for more information to help you develop a parenting plan for a court order.
