Alaska Delinq. R. 23.2
Judgment for Restitution
(a) Definition. When a disposition includes a requirement that the minor or the minor’s parent pay restitution, the
judge shall enter a separate judgment for restitution.
(b) Content. The judgment for restitution must:
(1) Identify each victim or other person entitled to restitution and the amount of restitution owed to each.
(2) State the date restitution is due or, if the court
schedules installment payments, the amount and due date of
each payment. If no due date is stated, the restitution amount is
due immediately.
(3) State whether payment will be made through the clerk
of court or otherwise. The restitution payment will be made
through the clerk of court unless (A) the court orders restitution
to be made in a form other than payment of a specific dollar
amount or (B) the court orders payment to be made directly to
the victim or through another entity.
(4) Identify by name and case number any other
delinquent minors, criminal defendants, or parents who are
jointly and severally liable for the restitution owed to each
person.
(5) State whether post-judgment interest is owed on the
judgment, and, if so, when it begins to accrue.
(c) Entering the Judgment for Restitution.
(1) At Disposition. If the amount of restitution and the
names of the persons entitled to restitution are known at the
time of disposition, the court shall enter the judgment of restitution at the time of disposition.
(2) After Disposition. If the amount of restitution and the
names of persons seeking restitution are not known at the time
of disposition, the state shall file and serve within 90 days
after disposition a proposed judgment for restitution on a form
designated by the administrative director, and a notice that
includes information concerning the identity of any victims or
other persons seeking restitution, whether any victim or other
person expressly declines restitution, the nature and amount of
any damages together with any supporting documentation, a
restitution amount recommendation, the names of any other
delinquent minors, criminal defendants, and parents who might
be jointly and severally liable for the restitution, and any case
numbers for those persons, if applicable. Within 30 days after
receipt of the proposed judgment for restitution, the delinquent
minor and the minor’s parents, if applicable, shall file any
objection to the proposed judgment, and a statement of grounds
for the objection. If the delinquent minor or parent does not file
an objection, the court may enter the judgment for restitution
without further proceedings. If the delinquent minor or parent
files an objection and any party requests a hearing, the court
shall schedule a hearing.
(3) Victim Information. In addition to the requirements
of (c)(1) and (2) above, the state shall submit an ex parte
restitution victim information statement on a form provided by
the administrative director, which includes information
concerning the identity and addresses of the victims. The
restitution victim information statement shall be filed within 30
days after entry of the restitution judgment under (c)(1) above
or at the time the state submits a proposed judgment to the
court under (c)(2) above. The restitution victim information
statement is not a permanent record and will not be retained in
the case file. It must not be served on the delinquent minor or
parent or disclosed to anyone other than court personnel for
purposes of collecting restitution.
(d) Hearing Regarding Payment Schedule. A minor or
a minor’s parent, if applicable, who is unable to pay restitution
because of financial circumstances may request a hearing to ask
the court to modify the restitution payment schedule. If the
court holds a hearing and the minor or the minor’s parent, if
applicable, proves by a preponderance of the evidence that the
minor or, if applicable, the minor’s parent is unable through
good faith efforts to satisfy the payment schedule in the judgment for restitution, the court may modify the payment
schedule.
(e) Execution. Civil execution to enforce the judgment
may issue if restitution is ordered to be paid by a specified date
and the minor or the minor’s parent, if applicable, fails to
make full payment by that date. If restitution is ordered to be
paid in specified installments and the minor or the minor’s
parent, if applicable, fails to make one or more installment payments, civil execution to collect the entire remaining balance
may issue. The automatic stay on enforcement provided in
Civil Rule 62(a) does not apply to the enforcement of
restitution judgments. The civil judgment for restitution
remains enforceable after the expiration of the court’s jurisdiction over the minor, as provided in AS 47.12.170(a).
(f) Victim’s Options for Collection. The collections
unit established within the court system will execute on the
minor’s permanent fund dividend or on the minor’s parent’s, if
applicable, as needed to collect the restitution judgment. A
victim who wants to pursue collection more broadly under
Civil Rule 69, including the use of general writs of execution or
writs of execution for garnishment of earnings, may elect to
proceed without the collections unit’s assistance. Notice of this
election shall be provided on a form designated by the
administrative director.
(g) Priority of Payments. Where the allocation and
application of payments received from or on behalf of a
delinquent minor or a minor’s parents is uncertain, the court
shall apply the priority provisions of Criminal Rule 32.6(g).
(h) Financial Statement.
(1) As provided in AS 47.12.120(b)(4)(C), at the request
of the department, the victims’ advocate, or on its own motion,
the court shall, at any time, order the minor and the minor’s
parent, if applicable, to submit financial information on a form
approved by the administrative director to the court and the
department for the purpose of establishing the amount of
restitution or enforcing an order of restitution.
(2) If the minor or the minor’s parent, if applicable, fails
to submit a completed financial statement as ordered, the
minor’s probation officer, or a representative of the department
may notify the court by affidavit. Upon receipt of an affidavit
under this paragraph, the court shall schedule a hearing for the
minor or the minor’s parent, if applicable, to show cause why
the minor or the minor’s parent should not be held in contempt
for failure to comply with the order to submit the financial
statement.
