State v. Dillon

The Child Support Enforcement Division (CSED) appeals a superior court order modifying Kevin L. Dillons monthly child support payments. CSED contends that the court should have made its order effective as of the time Dillon received CSEDs Notice of Petition for Modification. We agree. Under Alaska Civil Rule 90.3(h)(2), a revised child support order presumptively relates back to notice of a petition for modification. Absent good cause for a later effective date, this presumptive date must govern Dillons case.
