§ Rule 58.2. Judgments for the Payment of Money
Rule 58.2. Judgments for the Payment of Money
(a) Form Generally. In addition to identifying each judgment creditor and each judgment debtor, a judgment for the payment of money must include the following information, if applicable, in the form shown in the sample judgment published at the end of this rule:
(1) the principal amount of the judgment;
(2) the portion of the principal that accrues prejudgment interest and the prejudgment interest rate, except as provided in (b);
(3) the date from which prejudgment interest should be calculated, except as provided in (b);
(4) a blank space for the court to fill in the amount of prejudgment interest;
(5) the amount of punitive damages, if any;
(6) a blank space for the court to fill in the amount of attorney's fees awarded;
(7) a blank space for the court to fill in the amount of costs awarded;
(8) a blank space for the total judgment amount;
(9) the post-judgment interest rate; and
(10) recognition of any interest by the State of Alaska in a punitive damages verdict.
(b) Prejudgment Interest. The total amount of prejudgment interest will be calculated by the court. If more than one interest rate applies or interest is calculated from more than one date, the interest rate and date should not be listed in the judgment as provided in (a). Instead, the party preparing the judgment must submit a separate computation sheet showing the interest calculations, including all applicable interest rates and dates, any payments, and how payments were applied to interest, costs, and principal.
(c) Identification of Judgment Creditors and Judgment Debtors. When identifying judgment creditors and judgment debtors, the party preparing the judgment must include as much of each person's full legal name as is known to that party and each person's date of birth, if known to that party.
(d) Name of Judge. In a proposed judgment, the name of the judge, if known, must be typed under the judge's signature line.
(e) Child Support Orders. This rule does not apply to child support orders. The form of child support orders is governed by Civil Rule 90.3(j).
(f) Rejection for Noncompliance. The clerk may reject proposed judgments that do not comply with this rule and Civil Rule 76.
