Alaska Supreme Court
Bruce H., Appellant v. Jennifer L., Appellee
October 6, 2017407 P.3d 432
Summary
The court affirmed that the mother's planned relocation was legitimate because the record did not show that her primary motive was to restrict the father's visitation. It vacated the superior court's domestic-violence findings because they rested on clearly erroneous factual findings and incorrect legal analysis, requiring reconsideration of the father's custody-modification request and the physical- and potentially legal-custody determinations. The court also required renewed consideration of visitation because the superior court did not make sufficient findings to explain the restricted award.
