Can I get a divorce without a reason? In Alaska you need have no reason, other than there are irreconcilable differences, to get a divorce. Question Detail: I am really unhappy in my marriage. My partner doesnt seem to mind our relationship, but I just cant be married anymore. Do I have to have a specific reason? What if my partner refuses to sign papers? You do not have to have a specific reason to get a divorce in Alaska. All you have to do is site irreconcilable differences and a divorce can be granted. Your partner does not have to sign papers unless you are doing a dissolution, where both parties agree. If you file for divorce yourself there is nothing he needs to sign. In Alaska it does not matter if one party does want to be married. Anyone can file for a divorce even if the other party does not agree.
