Danny Lind Charlesworth, Appellant v. State of Alaska, Child Support Enforcement Division, ex rel. Ralphena…

Summary

The court affirmed the modification of the appellant's child-support obligation. It held that the adoption of the child-support guidelines constituted a material change in circumstances and that the guidelines' shared-custody provision required a specified period of residence in the decree or a modifying order. Because the decree did not specify that the children would reside with the appellant for at least 25 percent of the year, support was properly calculated under the primary-custody provision.
