Keith Kent Elsberry, Appellant v. Erika Marianna Elsberry and State of Alaska, Child Support Enforcement Division…

Summary

The court affirmed the superior court’s refusal to hold a hearing on the sincerity of Elsberry’s religious objection to paying federal taxes. The support order was based on the court’s finding that his claimed income was not credible and on evidence concerning his earning capacity, not on any finding that his religious beliefs were insincere. The court therefore held that the sincerity of those beliefs was legally irrelevant to the decision under review.
