Alaska child support, like the support in all states, is
based upon Federal Law. In fact, the Federal
Government has promulgated a series of laws and
regulations that dictates that Alaska implement certain
guidelines pertaining to child support for Alaska to continue
to receive Federal Funding. The Federal
guidelines are
based upon a substantial body of research pertaining to
the amount of support that is available to children in intact
families at different income levels. The Federal laws
also direct how Alaska and the other states implement
support collection and enforcement.
The Alaska Child Support Guidelines for calculating
support are presumed to be correct and used as a
standard, unless it is evident that the amount of
support arrived at under the child support guidelines
would be unjust.
In Alaska, there are five basic factors that could cause
a deviation from the standard child support guidelines.
These factors include, an especially large family size,
a significant income of the child, a health or other
extraordinary expenses, a party having unusually low
expenses; and the parent with the support obligation has
an income below the Federal poverty level.
Alaska Child Support standard guidelines may also show a
deviation if the parent's income is more than $72,000.
The factors that the Court will consider in this
instance include, that an increase award is just and
proper, as well as the needs of the children, the
standard of living of the children, and the extent to
which the standard of living of the children should be
reflective of the parent's ability to pay.
Alaska Child Support terminates at the age of 18, or 19
if the child is enrolled in high school or the
equivalent and is residing with custodial parent. The
parties cannot be required to pay for a child's
post-majority college tuition.
