Karlee A. Dodge, F/k/a Karlee A. Sturdevant, Appellant v. Frank W. Sturdevant Iii, Appellee

Summary

The Alaska Supreme Court affirmed an order requiring the custodial parent to sign the federal waiver form so the noncustodial parent could claim one child's dependency exemption. It held that neither federal tax law nor the applicable regulations expressly prohibits a state court from ordering such a signature, and it adopted the majority rule recognizing that authority.
