CASE NO. MOTION FOR MEDIATION THROUGH CHILD CUSTODY & VISITATION MEDIATION PROGRAM

Mother Father Both parties This motion is filed by (check one) I ask the court to order the parties to participate in mediation through the Child Custody and Visitation Mediation Program. In support of this request, I state as follows: 1. The parties have at least one minor child and cannot agree on custody or visitation. I understand that Alaska law restricts the court's ability to order mediation if domestic violence has occurred between the parties. I certify that: a. There is no domestic violence protective order currently in effect (no Alaska court order and no order issued in another state and filed in Alaska). In addition, one of the following is true (check one): No domestic violence has occurred between the parties. Domestic violence has occurred between the parties, but mediation should still be permitted because it is requested by the victim and the victim is signing this motion.

2.

b.

3.

I understand that the parties' combined net annual income must be less than $100,000 in order to participate in the program. Mother's net annual income: Father's net annual income: $ $

(The above amounts should be the same as the "NET INCOME" amounts in the parties' Child Support Guidelines Affidavits. Estimate the other party's net annual income if that party has not filed an affidavit and the information is not otherwise available.)

The party requesting mediation must sign below. If both parties are requesting mediation, then both parties must sign.
