Crews v. Van Crews

OPINION

COMPTON, Justice.

Anthony and Yolanda Crews are husband and wife. They have one child, Alexander Crews. In July 1987 Yolanda filed an action for divorce and relief in superior court in Anchorage. The superior court dismissed the action on the grounds that (1) it did not have jurisdiction to make a requested child custody determination, and (2) it did not have personal jurisdiction over Anthony.
