Joshua Childs, Appellant v. Christina Childs, Appellee

Summary

The Alaska Supreme Court affirmed an order increasing the father's child support obligation. It held that the father was not entitled to a servicemember stay because he did not show that military duties materially impaired his ability to participate, and that corrected mailing provided sufficient notice and due process. The court also held that no evidentiary hearing was required because the dispute involved legal deductions rather than disputed facts, and that the father's housing allowance was income under the child-support guidelines.
