Pauline Douglas v. State Alaska

MOORE, Chief Justice. At issue in this appeal is whether, pursuant to a Department of Revenue (DOR) regulation adopting Alaska Civil Rule 90.3
as DOR's child support guidelines, DOR may assess a $50 monthly child support obligation against an incarcerated parent who
has no assets and earns less than $50 per month. The superior court ruled that Pauline Douglas should be assessed ongoing
child support of $50 per month while she is incarcerated, and that Douglas owes an accrued debt of $600 for public assistance
paid to support her minor children during the year preceding the initiation of this action. We affirm.
