How to Obtain a Child Support Modification in Alaska

Posted by Sarah-Kathryn Bryan | Jun 13, 2024 | 0 Comments

In Alaska, you may qualify for a child support modification if there has been a substantial change in circumstances since the initial child support order was issued. Here are some factors to consider when determining if you qualify:

A Change in Income May Justify a Modification in Child Support

If there has been a significant change in your income or the other parent's income, such as job loss, promotion, or a substantial increase or decrease in earnings, you may be eligible for a modification.

A Child Custody Modification

If there has been a change in the custody arrangement, such as a change in the amount of time the child spends with each parent, you may be eligible for a modification.

Other Relevant Factors in Child Support Modification

Alaska considers various other circumstances when determining if a modification is warranted. These factors may include changes in the cost of living, the child's needs, or any other significant changes that impact the child's well-being.

It's important to note that each case is unique, and the determination of eligibility for a child support modification is ultimately made by the Alaska Child Support Services Division or the court.
