Alaska Supreme Court

Camilla Hussein-Scott, Appellant v. Jerry Scott, Appellee

March 29, 20132013 Alas. LEXIS 42

Summary

The court held that the marital settlement agreement's express alimony termination date, December 2, 2020, controlled over the conflicting reference to Yasmine Scott's eighteenth birthday. It applied Florida law under the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act, declined to rely on the parties' self-serving testimony, and concluded that the date appeared in the provision specifically designated for the termination date. The superior court's order was reversed and remanded for correction of the termination date.
