Case No.: [CASE NUMBER]
The moving party, [FULL NAME], asks the Court to modify the child support order in this case under Alaska Civil Rule 90.3(h) and states:
-
The Court entered the current child support order on [DATE]. The ordered payment is [AMOUNT] per [PERIOD] by [PAYOR] for [CHILD OR CHILDREN]. A copy of the order is attached as Exhibit A.
-
Since the order was entered, the following material circumstances have changed: [DESCRIBE EACH CHANGE, ITS DATE, AND ITS EFFECT ON SUPPORT]. Relevant facts about each parent's income, custody schedule, child care, and health coverage are [DETAILS].
-
☐ Support calculated under current Rule 90.3, including applicable health insurance payments, is more than 15% greater or less than the outstanding order. Current ordered amount: [AMOUNT]; recalculated amount: [AMOUNT]; percentage change: [PERCENT]. The applicable support calculation is attached as Exhibit B.
-
☐ The material change is established on other facts even if the calculation in paragraph 3 does not meet the presumption. Those facts are [DETAILS AND SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS].
-
The moving party's current adjusted annual income is [AMOUNT]. The other parent's current adjusted annual income is [AMOUNT OR UNKNOWN]. The moving party files the Rule 90.3(e)(1) sworn income statement and verifying, appropriately redacted documentation with this motion. Available health coverage for the children and its additional cost are [DETAILS].
-
The requested support amount is [AMOUNT] per [PERIOD], based on [PRIMARY/SHARED/DIVIDED/HYBRID] physical custody and the attached Rule 90.3 calculation. Requested health coverage or allocation of uncovered expenses, if any: [DETAILS].

Relief requested: The moving party asks the Court to find a material change of circumstances, determine support from the evidence under Rule 90.3, modify the existing order accordingly, address the children's health care coverage, and grant any other appropriate relief.

Family law covers the paperwork that shapes divorce, custody, child support, adoption, guardianship, and other family matters. These filings are emotional and high-stakes, and they also have to meet strict procedural rules for service, financial disclosure, and parenting plans. Clean, accurate paperwork keeps the focus on getting a workable outcome for the family instead of getting derailed by technical problems that delay hearings or force amended filings.
