Providing Dedicated, Professional And Competent Advocacy To Anchorage Families

Our attorneys, Gary R. Eschbacher and Justin R. Eschbacher, manage the full spectrum of domestic legal issues, including the following:

• Uncontested, contested and high-asset divorce: Our attorneys guide our clients as they move forward with the divorce peacefully or settle differences on sensitive matters.

• Post-judgment modifications of custody and support: Our team helps clients file motions to modify custody, visitation or support while assisting in building cases with substantial evidence.
• Resolutions to disputes achieved by mediation, negotiation and litigation: Our versatile family law attorneys direct our clients’ points during mediation, negotiate with the other parties and represent our clients in court.
• Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements: Our lawyers’ decades of experience in practicing family law enable them to skillfully help spouses and spouses-to-be draft enforceable marital agreements.
• Grandparent and stepparent custody and visitation rights: Our attorneys can step in to prove that a lack of grandparent or stepparent intervention is detrimental to a child’s upbringing.
• Protective orders after domestic violence: Our team can immediately file and obtain protective orders from courts and represent our clients in family law matters affected by abuse.
• Paternity issues: Our lawyers help establish or challenge paternity by leveraging their knowledge of laws and proceedings in Anchorage.
• Challenges faced by domestic partners: Our team serves unmarried couples and helps them establish their rights, especially when disputes from separation arise.

How much does it cost to hire a family law attorney in Anchorage?

In Anchorage, a family law attorney can have an hourly rate ranging from $150 to $600. The price depends on a case’s complexity and level of conflict. If a legal concern is straightforward, a lawyer may charge a flat fee.

How long does a typical family law case take to resolve in Alaska?

Family law cases can finish within one to three months or take over a year. An uncontested divorce has a shorter process compared to cases with disputes concerning property division and child custody.

What happens if my spouse and I disagree on everything? How does the court move the process forward?

If you and your spouse disagree on all matters, the divorce will be considered contested. A judge may order mediation to allow parties to negotiate and settle privately. However, if conflicts make resolution impossible, moving to a trial court is often the next step.
