Answer To Complaint For Custody {DR-450}

DR-450 - ANSWER AND COUNTERCLAIM TO COMPLAINT FOR CUSTODY OF MINOR CHILDREN. This form is used in the Superior Court of Alaska by a parent who has been served with a complaint for custody. It allows the responding parent to state whether they agree, disagree, or are unsure about the statements made in the complaint, and to raise any affirmative defenses that might prevent the court from deciding the case, such as lack of jurisdiction or improper venue. The form also provides the parent an opportunity to file counterclaims, which is where they can tell the court what custody, parenting plan, child support, and financial arrangements they are requesting in the best interests of the children. This includes decision-making authority, living arrangements, holiday schedules, safety concerns, travel costs, and child support calculations. Additionally, the form addresses financial matters such as Alaska Permanent Fund Dividends, Alaska Native Corporation dividends, and tax dependency claims, as well as issues of paternity if applicable.
