Alaska Supreme Court

Jhyshain Wee, Appellant v. Charles Eggener, Appellee

March 12, 20102010 Alas. LEXIS 25

Summary

The court vacated the awards of temporary joint legal custody and shared physical custody because the trial court found that the father had a history of domestic violence but did not address the statutory presumption against awarding him custody. The court affirmed unsupervised visitation because the trial court's findings that the father posed no danger to the child and that unsupervised visitation was in the child's best interests were not clearly erroneous. The court also vacated the mutual no-contact order insofar as it restricted the mother, while preserving the restriction against the father and remanding for a reasonable visitation schedule.
