Jett M. Million v. Diane L. Hubert

Summary

The Alaska Supreme Court affirmed the superior court’s judgment, holding that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in denying Jett Million’s attempts to obtain relief from the dissolution decree under Alaska Civil Rule 60(b), that the decree is not void despite conflicting federal law, that there was no substantial change in circumstances or extraordinary circumstances justifying relief, and that the court likewise did not abuse its discretion in refusing to force the sale of the former marital home. The opinion also noted that parties may contractually divide military benefits even though federal law generally precludes such division.
