Lawrence E. Jahnke
2009 ND 154771 N.W.2d 288
Oral Argument 4/14/2009

Highlight

An award of spousal support is finding of fact which will not be set aside on appeal unless clearly erroneous.
We will not set aside the trial court's determinations on property division or spousal support for failure to explicitly state the basis for its findings if that basis is reasonably discernable by deduction or inference.
We remand for further proceedings when permanent spousal support is requested but not awarded and the district court does not articulate why an award was not made.
