Alaska Supreme Court
Douglas W. Brotherton, Appellant v. Douglas Warner and Pamela J. Neiswanger, Appellees
October 8, 20102010 Alas. LEXIS 113
Summary
The court affirmed the extension of Douglas Brotherton's child-support obligation through his son's high-school graduation. It held that the parties' temporary custody stipulation did not waive or preclude post-majority support, that the statutory provision applied even though the child lived with third-party designees, and that the request was timely and nonretroactive. The court also held that any error in the superior court's treatment of the administrative overpayment determination was harmless and that denying reconsideration was not an abuse of discretion.
