Divorce is not easy on either side but it raises particularly difficult issues for husbands and fathers. Generally men have no idea of what their rights are. They fail to consider property rights, fathers rights, and rights as parents. Usually, men do not discuss their situations with friends and coworkers and are often isolated and without a social system or network of friends. On the average, men are terrible at telling their side of the story to a judge.

What are you entitled to? How can you be sure you get it? What about the division of property and who owns the debt?

You may have these and many other questions about everything from the divorce process in Alaska to how to seek child custody or child support. If the time has come to end your marriage or if you have been served with divorce papers, the Alaskan Divorce Center for Men’s experienced lawyers are here to guide you. 

We focus on helping our clients protect their rights as men and fathers within the legal system and present themselves in court in the best possible way to the judge. Realistically, courts want to be fair but traditionally, courts are biased against men in divorce proceedings.

Alaskan Divorce Center for Men is  proud to be a part of changing that dynamic one client at a time.

Alaska Divorce Laws

Alaska has rules governing the divorce process. The ending of every marriage is as different as the individuals getting divorced. Some couples come to the end of their road together co-operatively, finding that there is enough respect and affection left between them to make their parting a positive process. While that may be an ideal situation, it is rare. As divorce lawyers, we are more used to seeing couples whose divorce is a battleground – and often, men are on the losing side because of their reluctance to fully engage in the process.

Common Law Marriage

Alaska family law includes provisions for the division of property, child custody and support whether the separating couple have been legally married or just have a child together. There is no common law marriage in Alaska. If couples have been living together regardless of the duration, a civil suit must be filed, not a divorce.
