Overview

Filing for divorce in Alaska

Alaska is the most permissive state on residency: there is no waiting period to become eligible. You simply need to be domiciled in Alaska — physically present with the intent to stay — on the day you file with the Superior Court. After filing, a mandatory 30-day cooling-off period runs before a judge signs the final decree.

Divorce papers come in two official packets from the Alaska Court System: the DR-1 packet for couples with minor children and the DR-2 packet for couples without them. The only no-fault ground is incompatibility of temperament under AS 25.24.050. Alaska divides marital property equitably and follows the Alaska Child Support Guidelines under AS 25.27.060 when children are involved.

The $250 filing fee covers the standard case. Because there is no residency threshold, Alaska is a common choice for people relocating to the state, though the court still requires proper service on your spouse before the case can proceed.
