The Alaska Child Custody Jurisdiction Affidavit is a document used in the state of Alaska to establish a court's jurisdiction over a child custody case. It is completed by the parties involved in the case and must be signed in the presence of a notary public. The affidavit outlines the parties' relationship to the child, the parents' current living arrangements, the court's jurisdiction over the child custody matter, and the parties' consent to the court's jurisdiction. There are two types of Alaska Child Custody Jurisdiction Affidavit: the Long Form Affidavit and the Short Form Affidavit. The Long Form Affidavit is used in cases where the parties are not in agreement about the court's jurisdiction, while the Short Form Affidavit is used when the parties are in agreement. This affidavit must be filed with the court in order for the court to have jurisdiction over the child custody matter.
