The Alaska Custody & Visitation Plan (long), SHC-1120 is a form used to create an agreement between two parents regarding the physical and legal custody rights of their children. It is based on the Alaska Statutes and the Alaska Supreme Court Rules. The plan is required by the court if a parent is seeking a divorce, legal separation, annulment, or adoption. There are two types of Alaska Custody & Visitation Plans (long): the Standard Plan and the Special Plan. The Standard Plan is the default plan used for most families. It outlines general provisions that apply to all custody arrangements, such as the rights of both parents, the child’s right to be consulted in decisions, and the rights of the grandparents. It also covers specific arrangements for visitation and custody, such as which holidays the child will spend with each parent, who the child will stay with when parents are out of town, and which parent will have physical custody on a daily basis. The Special Plan is used in cases where the parents need to make additional arrangements to serve the best interests of the child, such as when one parent has a chronic illness or is incarcerated. This plan outlines more detailed provisions in areas such as decision-making, communication between parents, and relocation. It also includes a section for the parents to add any additional agreements they have made. The Alaska Custody & Visitation Plan (long) is an important document to ensure that the best interests of the child are considered in any arrangement that is made between the parents. It is important that the plan is followed in order to avoid any potential disputes in the future.
