Jack W. Fredrickson, Appellant v. Allison O. Hackett, Appellee

Summary

The court affirmed the superior court’s interpretation of the parties’ custody settlement agreement as providing primary physical custody to the mother under a detailed visitation schedule, notwithstanding inconsistent child-support materials. It reversed the denial of the father’s custody-modification motion without a hearing because his permanent residence and substantial expansion of the cabin alleged a substantial change in circumstances sufficient to require an evidentiary hearing. The case was remanded for further proceedings concerning custody and visitation.
