Matthew J.p. Millette, Appellant v. Carol Jean Millette, Appellee

Summary

The Alaska Supreme Court affirmed a judgment requiring the father to pay half of medical expenses incurred for the parties' autistic child. It held that professionally recommended nutritional supplements and their shipping charges may qualify as reasonable uncovered health care expenses, and that the father remained responsible for his share despite paying the clinic directly and despite some expenses predating the child support order. The court also concluded that the superior court did not abuse its discretion in allocating the expenses or determining that presentation of the bills was not unreasonably delayed.
