Prepare your Court Forms Online for Restraining Orders in Alaska
This website helps victims learn about the types and then create official court forms required for getting a restraining order in Alaska.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Take Screening
Start with an online screening tool to help you decide which restraining order fits your situation the best.
2. Prepare Documents
Instead of looking at the legal forms themselves, you will be guided through a series of detailed questionnaires. These will gather the necessary information topic by topic. The questions are in plain and non-legal language. To make this process as simple as possible, our system will then generate the official court forms with your responses printed on them.
3. Consult Advocate (Optional)
You can consult a victim advocate or pro bono (free) lawyer to get guidance on restraining orders. These resources are typically paid for by the government and can help you review your case documents and talk to you directly to discuss your case and safety planning.
4. File with the Clerk
You can formally begin the case by filing with your local court. You will be informed about which specific court you need to file at as it’s important to go to one that has jurisdiction over your case. You can file by either printing and visiting the clerk’s office at the court or in many locations online directly from this website.
TYPES OF PROTECTION ORDERS
Domestic Violence Protective Order
This order is designed to protect individuals from domestic violence, including harassment or threats from family or household members. It can include restrictions on contact and other safety measures. (Alaska Statutes § 18.66.100)
Stalking Protective Order
It is a court order that protects a person from stalking (outside domestic violence) by restricting the stalker’s contact and proximity.
Sexual Assault Protective Order
It is a court order in Alaska designed to protect a victim of sexual assault from further harm or contact by the offender. It can place restrictions on the respondent, such as prohibiting contact, harassment, or proximity to the victim, and may also include temporary provisions for safety and support.
CIVIL
Small Claims
A small claims case in Alaska is designed to help individuals resolve disputes involving relatively small amounts of money. These cases are intended to be simple, fast, and affordable, so people can often represent themselves without hiring a lawyer. (Alaska District Court Civil Rule 8)
Family
Dissolution and Divorce
A dissolution or divorce case in Alaska is the legal process used to end a marriage. Dissolution is designed to be simpler and faster because both spouses must agree on all issues before filing. Divorce may be contested or uncontested, and the court will resolve any disputes if the spouses cannot agree. These cases are handled in the Alaska Superior Court under Family Law (Domestic Relations).
TRIBAL COURT
Tlingit & Haida Tribal Court
The Tlingit & Haida Tribal Court is a separate court. It is not part of the Alaska state court system, and it has its own judges, rules, and forms. Tribal Court cases have their own page.
