Kimberly Y. Harris, Appellant v. John G. Governale, Appellee

Summary

The Alaska Supreme Court affirmed most of the superior court's custody, visitation, and best-interests determinations but held that the court legally erred by failing to weigh a physical altercation in the proposed custodial household as evidence of domestic violence. It also held that visitation expenses were allocated prematurely because child support had not yet been determined. The court vacated the custody order and remanded for reconsideration of custody and reallocation of travel expenses.
