Alaska Motion & Affidavit to Join for Purpose of Grandparent Visitation, SHC-1140, is a legal form used by grandparents in Alaska to request court-ordered visitation rights with their grandchildren. The form is used to join the grandparent as a party in an existing child custody case and to request a court order granting the grandparent visitation rights. This form is available in two versions: SHC-1140A, for when the parents are married, and SHC-1140B, for when the parents are not married. The form must be signed by the grandparent and filed with the court in order to initiate the process. It must also be accompanied by an Affidavit of Grandparent, which is a sworn statement from the grandparent attesting to their relationship with the grandchildren, their desire for visitation rights, and the best interests of the children.
