Clear Answers To Your Questions About Child Custody

Below, our child custody attorneys answer questions most frequently asked about child custody in Anchorage.

What factors do Alaska courts consider when determining child custody?

The courts consider the best interests of a child when determining custody arrangements. There are nine factors under Alaska family law. These include, but are not limited to, a child’s physical, mental, emotional, religious and social needs; the existing relationships between the child and each parent; and each parent’s desire to meet their child’s needs.

When is it appropriate for a parent to receive sole physical and legal custody in Alaska?

If a judge finds that shared custody can harm the child or goes against their best interests, then they can award sole legal or primary physical custody. A child custody attorney can help you gather evidence that proves domestic violence, substance abuse or neglect, and criminal history.

What can I do if my ex refuses to let me see our children?

Seek counsel from a child custody attorney to build a strong case against the other parent. By law, your ex cannot withhold your child, especially if there is a custody court order.
