Branwen Collier, Appellant v. William A. Harris, Appellee

Summary

The Alaska Supreme Court affirmed the denial of the mother's request for sole legal and primary physical custody because the superior court did not abuse its discretion in finding no substantial change in circumstances affecting the child. It also affirmed the partial attorney-fee award because the court properly considered the parties' relative financial resources and good faith. The court remanded for a best-interests determination regarding modification of the custody schedule, concluding that the superior court had already found a change warranting some schedule modification but had not completed the required analysis.
