Direct answer
What happened in this matter?
Fabricated: Exhibits & Submissions | Father's opening brief asserted trial-court findings (e.g., Child showed 'persistent hostility toward Father', 'difficulty adjusting to custodial transitions', Father's evidence was 'self-serving', Mother was 'evasive and inconsistent') that do not appear in the superior court's order; the appellate court described these as hallucinated.
- Why the court cared
- The record concerns whether authorities presented to the decision-maker existed and could be verified. The tracked outcome is the response recorded in the linked source; the linked source controls the precise reasoning.
- Why it matters now
- Never manufacture record citations — appellate courts read the trial order and will call hallucinations by name.
