Alaska Supreme Court

Janelle L. Sweeney, Appellant v. Robert J. Organ, Appellee

April 15, 20162016 Alas. LEXIS 48

Summary

The Alaska Supreme Court affirmed the superior court’s custody order, holding that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in declining to award the mother primary physical custody. The Court found the lower court properly applied the statutory best‑interest factors and correctly concluded that changing the shared physical‑custody schedule would be disastrous for the child.
