Core Forms — Uncontested Affidavit Process

The Affidavit of Uncontested Divorce — What It Does

This is Alaska's most important self-represented divorce document. When both parties sign this Affidavit:

• Both confirm they agree on all terms
• Both confirm the Separation Agreement is fair
• Both waive the right to a hearing
• The court can enter the Decree administratively — no hearing scheduled

Both parties must sign the Affidavit before a notary.

Without this Affidavit, the court cannot process the divorce without a hearing.

Financial Disclosure — Required

Alaska requires both parties to submit Financial Disclosure forms. These disclose:

• Monthly income from all sources
• Monthly living expenses
• All assets: real property, bank accounts, retirement, vehicles, personal property, business interests
• All liabilities: mortgage, loans, credit cards, student loans, other debts

Used by the court to evaluate whether the Separation Agreement is fair — especially alimony and property division.

Separation Agreement — What It Must Cover

Marital Real Property:

• Full address and legal description
• Agreed FMV; mortgage balance; marital equity
• Assignment: who keeps (buyout; refinancing deadline; fallback; Deed → Alaska Recorder's Office) or sale

Retirement Accounts:

• QDRO for employer plans

Separate Property: Both parties acknowledge and confirm each spouse's separate property

Alimony/Spousal Support: Award with terms — or explicit waiver

If Children: Legal custody, physical custody, Parenting Plan, child support per Alaska Guidelines

Alaska Child Support Guidelines

Alaska uses an income shares model:

1. Determine both parents' gross monthly income

4. Adjust for custody arrangements, health insurance, childcare

Duration: Alaska child support generally continues to age 18 (or 19 if still in school).

Alaska courts consider relevant factors including:

• Duration of the marriage
• Age and health of the parties
• Earning capacity and financial condition
• Standard of living during the marriage
• Contributions to the other spouse's career or education
• Homemaker contributions
• Fault (Alaska courts may consider conduct)
