Divorce
In the State of Alaska, if you file for a divorce, the court will fairly and equitably divide the martial assets and debts. Marital assets are defined as property that was accrued during the marriage. This can include retirement accounts, benefits, savings accounts, tangible assets, vehicles, real estate, and businesses. In some circumstances, property or debts that were accumulated when a couple co-habitated prior to marriage can also be divided. If there are children that were born or adopted during the marriage, the court will determine legal and physical custody of your children under what is called the “Best Interest Factors” under AS 25.24.150.
Adoptions
