Alaska Residency Requirement
When filing for divorce in Alaska, the filing spouse must be a resident of the state at the time the divorce petition is filed in divorce court. The divorce is usually filed in the county where the filing spouse lives.
If a person serving in a military branch of the United States government has been continually stationed at a military base in the state for at least 30 days, he or she is considered a resident of the state and can file for divorce.
The requirements to establish residency are different from state to state. A local Alaska divorce attorney can explain what you need to do to meet the residency requirement, as well as other Alaska divorce requirements and state divorce laws.
