Alaska Law states that a parent must pay child support until a child is 19 years old if they are going to high school, and are still living with (and being supported by) the other parent. In this case, the non-custodial parent will be obligated to pay until the child turns 19 or graduates from high school.

Requests should be submitted to the clerk of court where the case was filed. You may submit your request in person or by mail to the court. A complete list of Alaska Court System contact information is available at: .

The parents cannot agree to waive child support or to have a specific amount that is lower than the calculated amount. The parents can agree on what is reasonable income to use for a parent for the calculation which should be based on their earnings and current and past employment history.

How does the Alaska child support agency enforce support orders? We collect child support as ordered. There are two types of orders. To collect support payments, we are federally mandated to send withholding orders for property and wages.

CSSD will release any licenses, passports, or liens unless support arrears are owed to the state or another party. We will review to see if we can remove your support.

Though there is no strict age guideline under Alaska law, children are not generally mature enough to make reasoned decisions about which parent to live with until they are teenagers. Even then, a judge will look at the reason the teenager is expressing a preference for one parent over another.
