Briana A. Norris, Appellant v. Richard K. Norris, Appellee

Summary

The court affirmed dismissal of the mother's Alaska custody action because Mississippi had jurisdiction when the father initiated the first custody proceeding. Alaska was not the child's home or recent home state, while Mississippi had significant connections to the child and substantial evidence concerning his care. The court also held that the superior court properly reconsidered its initial jurisdictional ruling, conducted an evidentiary hearing, and ruled after the applicable reconsideration period. No separate opinions were provided.
