Alaska Supreme Court
Helen S.k. v. Samuel M.k.
November 16, 20122012 Alas. LEXIS 149
Summary
The court affirmed nearly all aspects of the divorce judgment, including the custody arrangements, imputation of income, equal property division, and order concerning Helen's married name. It held that the superior court acted within its discretion in conducting recorded in camera interviews of the children because it provided the parties with a summary of information used in deciding custody and limited the interviews primarily to parental preference. The court reversed and remanded only the valuation of Samuel's capital stock because the superior court relied on an uncertain future valuation despite contemporaneous evidence of the stock's actual value.
