Marci Hawkins, Appellant v. Sonia M. Williams and Daniel Williams, Appellees

Summary

The Alaska Supreme Court affirmed the superior court’s denial of a grandparent visitation petition, holding that the clear‑and‑convincing burden of proof was correctly applied, that the grandmother failed to show ongoing personal contact, and that visitation was not in the children’s best interests. The court found no abuse of discretion or clear error in the lower court’s factual findings.
