Alaska Divorce and Dissolution 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.
A Alaska divorce is filed in the Superior Court, and the paperwork you start with depends on whether you have minor children together and whether there is property to divide.
Alaska's core family statutes live in the Alaska Statutes Title 25 - Marital and Domestic Relations. In Alaska, a parent without a lawyer can file family papers online, and filing on paper with the clerk is still allowed. The official sources below cover the petition documents, the statewide forms collection, and the court's own filing instructions.

How much does it cost to file a family case in Alaska?
Divorce filing fee: ~$250. If you cannot afford the fee, ask the clerk about a fee waiver or indigency application; every state has a process for requesting one.
