Description
This case presents the question of whether a trial court has discretion to award prejudgment interest, at the rate set by AS 45.45.010(a), to the party to whom money is due in the context of a divorce proceeding. Superior Court Judge Victor Carlson found that prejudgment interest was inappropriate in such cases. The court concluded that divorces involve an equitable property division, not an award of damages "due" to one party. We reverse and remand for a determination of whether prejudgment interest should have been awarded in this case.
