I don't know if this applies to all states. I live in Alaska though. My question is: If you know that one party will not go with a dissolution, can you move that straight to a divorce? And then in Alaska, would it start out a no fault divorce? Anybody's help would be great.
If you can't agree on the terms of divorce through a settlement agreement , one party will have to "sue for divorce " . The suit for divorce can be based on fault or nofault grounds . The other party ( respondant ) can decide to countersue on fault grounds if they wish .

In Alaska, if you find out that the children conceived while married are not the biological fathers, would that father still be responsible for them? Child support. Thanks
That would definitely prove adultery . You would need to specifically deny paternity in your petition for divorce and have paternity tests ordered by the court . If paternity is disproven , you would not be required to pay child support . Some courts will not allow paternity testing depending on the age of the children and the length of the marriage assuming that it's not in " the best interest of the children " .
