Richard J. Villars, Appellant v. Olga H. Villars, Appellee

Summary

The Alaska Supreme Court affirmed the superior court’s orders rejecting Richard Villars’ collateral attacks on his I‑864 support obligations and holding that an Earned Income Tax Credit is not income for offset purposes. The Court also remanded for factual determinations on a possible overpayment for December 2010, any support received from family abroad in 2012, and Linda’s income. The decision rests on statutory interpretation of the immigration support affidavit and principles of finality in appellate practice.
