Support is paid on behalf of the children, not for the benefit of the custodial parent. In Civil Rule 90.3, the Alaska Supreme Court has set the guidelines which courts must follow to determine the amount of child support. See pages 26-31 for a copy of this rule and pages 32-46 for a commentary explaining the rule. To comply with this rule, each parent must provide information, under oath, about his or her income and must attach documentation verifying that information. Civil Rule 90.3(e). In dissolution cases, that information must be provided in the Petition form, DR-105. In divorce cases, it should be provided on form DR-305, Child Support Guidelines Affidavit. In both dissolutions and divorces, an additional form must be attached if one of the following types of child custody is chosen: Shared Physical Custody.
