Alaska

Fathers rights in Alaska are established by laws that address paternity, custody and child support. You have equal rights with the mother in the State of Alaska.

Paternity: Your Alaska fathers rights allow you to request that a paternity test be required in order to establish you as the father. If you are proven to be the father, you have the right to be involved in any major decision regarding the child including the choice to put the child up for adoption.

Custody: You have the right to seek custody of your children. This custody may be sole or joint physical custody. It might be simple legal custody that secures your ongoing and regular visitation with your children. Any form of custody guarantees your right to be involved in all important decisions regarding your children, including their education, religious upbringing, lifestyle, participation in activities such as sports or music, their medical care if required and more.

Child Support: Your fathers rights in Alaska give you the opportunity to seek court-mandated child support payments from the mother. The court will evaluate the finances of both parents and make a determination regarding child support.
