Alaska Supreme Court

Paula Frackman, Appellant v. Rick Enzor, Appellee

June 20, 20142014 Alas. LEXIS 119

Summary

The Alaska Supreme Court affirmed the modification of shared custody to primary physical and sole legal custody for the father. It held that new evidence of the mother's substance abuse, untreated mental-health conditions, inability to follow court orders, and effects on the children established a substantial change in circumstances, and that the superior court properly applied the best-interests factors. The court also upheld professionally supervised visitation and the accommodation of the older child's baseball schedule because the superior court's findings adequately supported those decisions.
