Yelena R., Appellant v. George R., Appellee

Summary

The court held that Alaska had home-state jurisdiction to decide custody because the children had lived there for six months before the custody proceeding began. It affirmed the award of sole legal and primary physical custody to George because the superior court properly evaluated the domestic-violence evidence and statutory best-interest factors, and its factual findings were not clearly erroneous. The court remanded the visitation issue because supervised visitation lacked adequate supporting findings, lacked a plan for achieving unsupervised visitation, and improperly left the end of supervision to George.
