1994 Alaska Statutes
TITLE 11 CRIMINAL LAW
Chapter 11.51. OFFENSES AGAINST THE FAMILY
Sec. 11.51.122. AIDING THE NONPAYMENT OF CHILD SUPPORT.

(a) A person commits the crime of aiding the nonpayment of child support if the person

(1) knows that an obligor has a duty under an administrative or judicial order for payment of child support; and

(2) intentionally

(A) withholds information about the residence or employment of the obligor when that information is requested by a child support enforcement agency; or

(B) participates in a commercial, business, or employment arrangement with the obligor, knowing at the time that the arrangement is made that it will allow the obligor to avoid paying all or some of the support when it is due or to avoid having a lien placed on assets for the payment of delinquent support; receipt of a substantial asset for less than fair market value from an obligor after the obligor's support order has been established constitutes a rebuttable presumption that the person receiving the asset knew that the transfer would allow the obligor to avoid paying all or some of the support or to avoid having a lien placed on the asset.

(b) In a prosecution under (a)(2)(B) of this section, it is a defense that the

(1) defendant did not intend to assist the obligor in the nonpayment of child support; or

(2) obligor did not intend to avoid paying child support.

(c) This section does not prohibit an arrangement entered into with an attorney for the purpose of paying the attorney who represents the child support obligor in proceedings to contest or modify a child support order.

(d) Aiding the nonpayment of child support is a class A misdemeanor.
