Description
We address two questions of law certified from the United States District Court for the District of Alaska pursuant to Appellate Rule 407(a). For purposes of this opinion, we assume that a biofeedback therapist commits professional malpractice by engaging in a sexual relationship with a client. The first question is whether such client may recover as damages the costs of raising a child conceived during the relationship, and whether those costs should be offset by the emotional benefits of having the child. The second question is whether a state court award of child support precludes recovery in tort for the cost of raising the child in such a case.
