Alaska Supreme Court

Bobbie Ann Hunter, Appellant v. Shaun T. Conwell, Appellee

April 13, 20122012 Alas. LEXIS 59

Summary

The Alaska Supreme Court affirmed the denial of Hunter's motion to modify custody. It held that the evidence did not establish a substantial change in circumstances concerning alleged verbal abuse, the children's behavior, Conwell's work-related travel, or telephonic visitation. Because Hunter failed to satisfy that threshold requirement, the superior court was not required to conduct a best-interests analysis.
