Rebecca Christy and Samuel Christy v. Charles Conrad and Marcie Conrad

Summary

The Alaska Supreme Court reversed the Superior Court’s order granting the Conrads visitation rights, holding that the grandparents failed to meet the clear‑and‑convincing burden to show that denying visitation would be detrimental to the children. The Court also found the lower court’s evidentiary error regarding a social‑worker’s recorded testimony to be harmless and not affecting the outcome.
