751-5          CARETAKER RELATIVE RESPONSIBILITY TO SPOUSE

 

Under Alaska law, a legally married husband and wife are mutually legally responsible for each other. This is important to remember when determining the financial need of non-parent caretaker relatives who are married and living together. For ATAPAlaska Temporary Assistance Program purposes, all the resources of a husband or wife are automatically considered available to the other spouse they live with.
