Alaska Supreme Court

Nicholas Ryan Dunn v. Dakota Christine Jones

November 1, 2019451 P.3d 375

Summary

The Alaska Supreme Court reversed the superior court’s denial of a child‑support modification and its order that Dunn pay 50% of the children’s health‑insurance costs, finding abuse of discretion in the former and error of law in the latter. The Court affirmed the lower court’s reliance on a single pay stub to determine income and its allocation of insurance costs among the children. It remanded for recalculation of support and a determination of good cause regarding insurance allocation.
