It's unusual for child support to sit inside a Department of Revenue rather than a health or human services agency, but Alaska's CSED handles the same core work every state's IV-D agency does: locating parents, establishing paternity, setting support orders, and collecting and enforcing payments.
CSED runs entirely at the state level — there's no separate county system — with a central office in Anchorage and case services delivered through its own online client portal and phone lines rather than local branch offices.
Alaska uses the Percentage of Income (Flat) model to calculate support. See how this compares to other states →

How to Apply for Child Support in Alaska
A parent or caretaker of a child can apply for services through Alaska's online client portal (ACSESS) or by calling the division directly. Families receiving public assistance are typically referred automatically.
You'll need identifying information for both parents and the child along with any existing custody or divorce paperwork. If paternity isn't already established, CSED handles that as part of opening the case, before a support order can be set.
How to Collect Child Support Payments in Alaska
Alaska processes support primarily through income withholding once an order is in place, with payments disbursed to the receiving parent through the case system.
There isn't a separate third-party payment vendor — payments and account information are handled directly through the CSED client portal, where both parents can check case status, balances, and payment history.
Missed Payments & Enforcement
CSED can intercept state and federal tax refunds, suspend various state-issued licenses, and report past-due support to credit bureaus when a parent falls behind.
As in every state, federal law allows a passport to be denied or revoked once arrears exceed $2,500. Alaska's employer hotline, (907) 269-6089, is the number employers use for wage-withholding questions tied to enforcement.
