Answer:
Alaska Stat. § 25.20.060 reads as:
“ (a) If there is a dispute over child custody, either parent may petition the superior court for resolution of the matter under AS 25.20.060 -- 25.20.130. The court shall award custody on the basis of the best interests of the child. In determining the best interests of the child, the court shall consider all relevant factors, including those factors enumerated in AS 25.24.150(c), and the presumption established in AS 25.24.150(g). In a custody determination under this section, the court shall provide for visitation by a grandparent or other person if that is in the best interests of the child.
***”
Alaska Stat. § 25.20.130 reads as:
“ A parent who is not granted custody under AS 25.20.060 -- 25.20.130 has the same access to the medical, dental, school, and other records of the child as the custodial parent.”
In the instant case, you can have access to the school records of your child even if the court granted the child custody to your wife.
