State of Alaska, Department of Revenue, Child Support Enforcement Division v. Larry P. McCormick

Summary

The court held that a request to extend child support beyond a child's eighteenth birthday is not a modification of the original support order when that order expired by its own terms at age eighteen. Therefore, no showing of changed circumstances was required unless the original order or an incorporated agreement expressly addressed and decided post-majority support. The court reversed and remanded for entry of an order granting post-majority support.
