Alaska Child Support Order is an order from the court that requires a parent or both parents to provide financial support for their children. It is designed to ensure that children receive the necessary financial resources to maintain their health, safety, and welfare. There are two types of Alaska Child Support Orders: Permanent Child Support Order and Temporary Child Support Order. A Permanent Child Support Order is a court order that sets forth a parent’s obligations to provide financial support for their children until the children reach the age of 18, or until the children become emancipated. A Temporary Child Support Order is a court order that sets forth a parent’s obligations to provide financial support for their children until the court issues a Permanent Child Support Order or until the children reach the age of 18.
