Alaska Supreme Court

Stephen J. Aldrich Jr. v. Kristin K. Aldrich

October 5, 20122012 Alas. LEXIS 138

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Stephen Aldrich's request for retrospective child support because his challenge to the 2006 order was an untimely motion for relief under Civil Rule 60(b)(1), filed nearly four years after notice of the order. The court held that the 2006 order was legally erroneous because it varied from the child-support guidelines without making the findings required by Rule 90.3, and it therefore affirmed prospective relief. The court did not decide whether timely Rule 60(b) relief would have entitled Stephen to retrospective support.
