Answer:
Action for failure to permit visitation with minor child is envisaged in Alaska Stat. § 25.20.140. It reads as:
“(a) When a court order is specific as to when a custodian of a minor child must permit another person to have visitation with that child, and the custodian fails, wilfully and without just excuse, to permit visitation with the child in substantial conformance with the court order, the person entitled to visitation has a separate cause of action against the custodian for damages.
