Alaska Family Court Forms and Filing Resources

FamilyCourtHelp is an independent educational platform. It is not a court, law firm, government agency, or government partner. We organize and link to publicly available resources published by courts and government agencies. Official requirements may change. Always confirm current requirements with the applicable court or clerk.

Alaska publishes its own official family law forms, filing instructions, and self-help materials, but they are spread across several government sites. This page organizes the official Alaska sources in one place so you can go straight to the right court page for forms, e-filing, rules, and locations.

Alaska's core family statutes live in the Alaska Statutes Title 25 - Marital and Domestic Relations. Divorce and custody cases can be e-filed statewide. If you cannot use a computer you can ask to file on paper or by mail instead.

How the Alaska court system handles family cases

Family cases in Alaska are heard in the Superior Court. Alaska's general trial court hears all divorce and custody cases.

Alaska has four large judicial districts instead of county courts.

Alaska's highest court is the Alaska Supreme Court. Alaska's Court of Appeals hears only criminal matters, so family appeals go straight to the Supreme Court.

Besides the judge, a Magistrate / Commissioner may handle parts of a family case. Besides the judge, a magistrate, commissioner, or referee may hear temporary orders, child support, and uncontested matters - usually subject to a judge's review.
