Alaska Filing and E-Filing

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 uses TrueFiling statewide and most people, including those without lawyers, are expected to file online unless they qualify for an exception such as no safe internet access or a disability.

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.

In Alaska, a parent without a lawyer can file family papers online, and filing on paper with the clerk is still allowed.
