Alaska Supreme Court

Aaron Pfeil, Appellant v. Chachee Lock, F/k/a Chachee Pfeil, Appellee

October 25, 20132013 Alas. LEXIS 140

Summary

The court vacated the property division and remanded because the superior court incorrectly assumed that both parties agreed to a rescission-based approach for a short marriage. The superior court also failed to make findings sufficient to determine whether the parties commingled assets and whether the chosen combination of rescission and equitable-division methods was legally appropriate. On remand, the court must conduct a new property division supported by adequate findings.
