In an ongoing action for child custody and divorce, associate attorney Sarah Kathryn Bryan won a contested hearing regarding interim child custody and possession of the marital home by carefully presenting evidence and crafting a compelling arguments based on the best interests of the children.  Witnesses included family members and childcare professionals to demonstrate the nurturing environment our client could provide.  

By highlighting our client's involvement in their children's lives and strong support system, Ms. Bryan effectively countered our opponent's claims.  By presenting evidence regarding the acquisition of the marital home, the stability enjoyed by the child in that home, and our client's active appreciation of the property during the marriage, Ms. Bryan argued that an award of physical custody of the children and possession of the marital home to our client would create a strong sense of consistency for the children during a time of transition.  

Ms. Bryan's strategic approach, thorough understanding of Alaska's custody laws, as well as our client's manifest dedication to their children's wellbeing, ultimately led to a favorable ruling that prioritized the children's welfare while allowing our client to retain access to the marital home.
