Andrea Blaufuss, Appellant v. Melvin Ball, Appellee

Summary

The Alaska Supreme Court reversed the superior court’s decision that vacated the permanent spousal support award, holding that the trial court had proper personal and subject‑matter jurisdiction and that the due‑process claim raised by the husband did not render the judgment void. The Court explained that Rule 60(b)(4) cannot be used as a substitute for an appeal of evidentiary errors, and remanded for further proceedings consistent with that ruling.
