A: You have to ask an attorney in Alaska about modifying that order. If you can get the order domesticated in FL, then the court here might be able to address a modification, but it seems to me that there will be no agreement at all from the other side, and FL may not have any jurisdiction over that person without a voluntary submission to its jurisdiction. What you need to do is go speak with an attorney face to face so that the attorney can ask you questions. We only get what you have written on internet forums and it is frequently the wrong questions to ask because people do not usually know the right questions.
