Heading: The Trial Court Used the Standard of the Child's Best Interest in Conditioning Visitation.

Text: A court may modify visitation rights if it finds both a change in circumstances and that the modification is in the best interests of the child: An award of custody of a child or visitation with the child may be modified if the court determines that a change in circumstances requires the modification of the award and the modification is in the best interests of the child. AS 25.20.110(a). In denying Nelson's motion to modify, the trial court determined that Nelson has already received a hearing on this issue, and the court has determined that the conditions placed on the resumption of visitation between Nelson and T. are in T.'s best interests. We conclude that the court specifically considered the child's best interests, and therefore committed no error. [7]
