Erich Patrawke v. Tanya Liebes

Summary

The court held that the superior court abused its discretion by denying the father's request that the mother consent to issuance of their daughter's passport. Because the passport was in the child's best interests, and the mother offered no compelling reason to deny it, the court reversed. The court also held that res judicata did not apply to the motion and that the mother's inadequately developed law-of-the-case argument was waived.
