Andrea C., Appellant v. Marcus K., Appellee

Summary

The Alaska Supreme Court affirmed the award of sole legal and primary physical custody to Marcus. It held that the superior court properly declined to give weight to Andrea's domestic-violence allegations because she presented no supporting evidence, and collateral estoppel was not appropriately applied to a protective order obtained by Marcus's former spouse. The court also held that the superior court properly weighed the children's need for stability and continuity in Alaska against the other best-interest factors.
