Can I Leave The State With My Infant After My Husband Told Me He Wants A Divorce?

Location: Alaska

My husband is military, but both he and I became residents of the state after he was assigned to a base here a few years ago. My baby (4 months old) was born in the state.

My husband told me he wants a divorce, and that there’s no changing his mind. He has not yet met with an attorney and nothing has been filed.

I would like to take my baby and go back home (lower 48). I am all alone up here, with no family and very limited support. My husband left the house a few days ago and I’m exhausted caring for the baby (who is going through a sleep regression), the dogs, and trying to maintain the house, without another set of hands. On top of that, I am going through a critical period of school. Im just exhausted and all alone.

While I will be seeking full custody, my intent now is just to be around family. I understand that the divorce will take place in the state of Alaska and that I, and my baby, will have to return at some point for that.

I’m afraid that if I wait until he files for divorce, I will not be able to leave the state until after everything is settled. The idea of being up here for months living like this is absolutely crushing to me.

Anyways, will I get in trouble if I just buy a plane ticket and go home with my baby? I would tell my husband where we are of course. Would that look bad during the custody battle if I do that?

Any advice is welcome.
