Description
PER CURIAM. This marks the second occasion that this child custody dispute has been before this court. Subsequent to the issuance of our first opinion, Leighton v. Leighton, 563 P.2d 882 (Alaska 1977),. the superior court ordered that permanent custody of the parties' minor children 1 be changed from their mother, Karen Leighton Everitt, residing in Oregon, to their father, Ronald Leighton, a resident of Detchidan, Alaska. This custody order, entered August 15, 1977, resulted from Karen's alleged frustration of Ronald's visitation rights pertaining to the summer of 1977, and also from her filing of a proceeding in the courts of Oregon, which, if granted, would have significantly restricted Ronald's access to the children. Karen neither contested nor appealed the superior court's grant of Ronald's motion because of financial problems in retaining Alaska counsel, 2 and because she believed that the Alaska court was without jurisdiction in light of her then pending Oregon motion. In January 1978, the Oregon court having declined jurisdiction over her attempt to restrict Ronald's access to the children, Karen retained new counsel and filed a motion in the Superior Court in Ketchilkan to have permanent custody of the children changed back to her. On February 8, 1978, the superior court denied her motion without holding a hearing. Karen has now appealed from the denial of her motion.
