FAQ
For a simple dissolution as part of an uncontested divorce, the entire process can be completed in as little as 30 to 90 days, depending on the court's backlog of cases and availability of a judge to review your filed documents.
Advantages of Uncontested Divorce The most apparent advantage of uncontested divorce, of course, is its cost. With the exception of the pro se divorce, an uncontested divorce that stays uncontested divorce is almost always the least expensive way of getting divorced.
Alaska law specifically says that "in an action for divorce on the ground of adultery, a confession of adultery is not alone sufficient to justify a judgment of divorce."But when it comes to spousal maintenance in Alaska, adultery has no impact at all.
The law is that the court has jurisdiction over the people in the divorce case if the married couple lived in Alaska for at least six consecutive months within the six years before filing for divorce.
The court fees for filing the paperwork for a basic divorce in a Alaska court is $200.00. However, the total costs for a divorce can be much higher - especially in the case of a contested divorce, where attorney fees and mediation costs average from $15,000 to $20,000 or more.
How long does a divorce take in Alaska? Once the Alaska divorce paperwork has been filed in court, it usually takes 30 to 90 days for a divorce to be final. The start to finish time of the divorce may vary depending on the caseload of the court and the availability of judges to sign the final Decree of Dissolution.
You can file the same paperwork as any married couple in Alaska to get a divorce. To start a case in court, you must file a document called either a complaint or a petition, and required attachments. The kind of complaint or petition you file will depend on your situation.
Alaska is a "no fault" divorce state, which allows for divorce on the basis of an "incompatibility of temperament." This means that even if your spouse is entirely opposed to ending your marriage, you can still request, and receive, a divorce from the Court.Alaska does not have any Court action for an annulment.
