Sandberg v. Sandberg

Summary

The Alaska Supreme Court reversed the Superior Court’s grant of relief under Alaska Civil Rule 60(b)(1) and (6) and vacated its attorney‑fees award, remanding for further proceedings. It held that the trial court’s factual finding that Brianna mistakenly believed the marital home was David’s separate property was clearly erroneous, and that the extraordinary‑circumstances analysis was likewise based on that error. The Court also instructed the lower court on proper valuation of marital property but left those determinations for the remand.
