Alaska Supreme Court

Andrew Engstrom, Appellant v. Becky Jo Engstrom, Appellee

May 15, 20152015 Alas. LEXIS 51

Summary

The court affirmed the superior court’s identification and valuation of the marital portion of the wife’s retirement health benefits and affirmed its valuation of the husband’s tax liability. It held that the superior court abused its discretion by relying on the income-producing nature of businesses awarded to the husband and on child-care responsibilities to justify an unequal property division. The case was remanded for reconsideration of the equitable division of marital property.
