Alaska Supreme Court

Mallory D., Appellant v. Malcolm D., Appellee

September 20, 20132013 Alas. LEXIS 129

Summary

The court reversed a modified child support order because the superior court did not adequately examine the father's self-employment expenses, reimbursements, and in-kind contributions when calculating his adjusted income. It also held that the superior court improperly treated full-time income imputation for the mother as mandatory rather than determining whether she was voluntarily and unreasonably underemployed under the totality of the circumstances. The case was remanded for recalculation, including consideration of the father's 2010 income.
