Alaska Supreme Court

Allen W. Heustess, Appellant v. Bonnie J. Kelley-Heustess, Appellee

August 26, 20112011 Alas. LEXIS 91

Summary

The court largely affirmed the superior court's rulings but reversed the child-support arrearage calculation, remanded the property division for clarification regarding possible double counting of litigation misconduct, and vacated the general attorney-fee award for reconsideration. The court held that the child-support claim was not time-barred, that Allen was entitled to mandatory federal-tax deductions and a supported determination of his 1995 income, and that the remaining child-support rulings were proper. Justice Winfree, dissenting in part, would have applied the ten-year limitations period to Bonnie's reimbursement claim, while Justice Fabe, concurring in part and dissenting in part, would have affirmed the property division without a remand.
