Alaska Supreme Court

Branwen Collier F/k/a Mendel-Gleason, Appellant v. William Aubrey Harris, Appellee — Fabe, J., Dissenting

September 2, 20112011 Alas. LEXIS 93

Summary

Justice Fabe dissented from the court's affirmance of the denial of a hearing on Branwen's motion to modify custody. Although agreeing that no hearing was required on legal custody, the dissent would have held that Branwen's changed work and school schedule warranted a hearing on whether the parties' shared physical-custody and visitation schedule should be revised. The dissent viewed the schedule issue as distinct from any request to increase Branwen's percentage of physical custody and would have remanded for a hearing.
