Alaska Supreme Court

Christopher D., Appellant and Cross-Appellee v. Krislyn D., Appellee and Cross-Appellant.

September 21, 2018426 P.3d 1118

Summary

The Alaska Supreme Court affirmed the superior court’s prospective child‑support award but remanded for the court to expressly consider support for the interim period between the parties’ separation and the order’s effective date. It held that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in denying a “good cause” variance under Civil Rule 90.3(c)(1), but erred by failing to explain the effective date and by not addressing the intervening period.
