Alaska Supreme Court

Jacob A. Marquez v. Dawn L. Marquez, Dawn L. Marquez v. Jacob A. Marquez

April 10, 2026

Summary

The court affirmed the marital-estate division, rejecting challenges to the treatment of a future reclamation cost, the valuation of a post-separation truck, the unvalued personal items, and the requested lien-release provision. It held that the reclamation cost was too speculative and contingent to qualify as a marital debt, that the truck was properly valued at fair market value absent proven dissipation, and that the party seeking valuation had not supplied sufficient evidence. The court vacated and remanded the interest determination because the superior court did not explain why interest was withheld from the first two equalization installments.
