Vince B., Appellant v. Sarah B., Appellee.

Summary

The Alaska Supreme Court affirmed the superior court’s long‑term domestic‑violence protective order against Vince B., finding no abuse of discretion in excluding his ten‑year‑old son’s testimony, no ripeness or res judicata violations, and no error in concluding that Vince’s conduct constituted stalking. The Court applied the Mathews due‑process balancing test, reviewed the ripeness and res judicata issues de novo, and upheld the factual findings on a clear‑error basis.
