Alaska Supreme Court

Alisa Burns v. John Everett Burns

June 26, 2020466 P.3d 352

Summary

The Alaska Supreme Court affirmed the superior court’s order modifying custody, finding that the lower court acted within its broad discretion, based its decision on the children’s best interests, and did not violate Alisa Burns’ due‑process rights. The Court held that the lower court’s weighting of psychological evaluations and credibility findings was proper and not clearly erroneous.
