Andrea C., v. Marcus K.
Annotate this CaseAndrea C. appealed a superior court’s decision to award Marcus K. primary physical and sole legal custody of their two children. Andrea argued the superior court made inadequate findings regarding Marcus’s history of domestic violence, and she also challenged the superior court’s application of the best interest factors. "This significant shift in custody" appeared to the Supreme Court as having been the result of two factors: (1) Marcus rebutted the domestic violence presumption, making it possible for the superior court to award him physical and legal custody; and (2) the superior court had increasing concerns regarding Andrea’s parenting. Finding no abuse of discretion or other reversible error, the Supreme Court affirmed.
