Alaska Supreme Court

Orville Wesley Jenkins Layton v. Mary Tabitha O'Dea, f/k/a Mary Tabitha O-Dea-Layton

August 12, 2022515 P.3d 92

Summary

The Alaska Supreme Court reversed the superior court’s judgment and remanded for further proceedings, holding that the trial court erred by failing to consider a contractual transmutation of the wife’s inheritance and by incorrectly finding no active appreciation of the investment accounts, while affirming the lower court’s decisions on continuance, debt allocation, pre‑division home sale, and bias allegations.
