Alaska Supreme Court

Yvonne M. Gambini, Appellant v. Perry W. Hamilton, Appellee.

March 29, 2019440 P.3d 184

Summary

The court affirmed the superior court’s property division order, rejecting challenges to the classification of the parties’ HELOC and real property, the equal division of the marital estate, and the valuation of a retirement account. It held that any error in classifying the HELOC was harmless because equitable considerations justified treating it as part of the marital division, and that Gambini showed no reversible procedural or constitutional error. The court retained jurisdiction over the QDRO claims because the challenged order and related filings were not included in the appellate record.
