Case No. 2011-DM-00148
Northeast Central Judicial District, Grand Forks County
Joel D. Medd
Highlight
The doctrine of res judicata should not be strictly applied to preclude the trial court from hearing for the first time relevant primary residential responsibility-related evidence bearing on considerations of what is in a child's best interests.
A truthful affidavit may not be subsequently withdrawn from evidence when the affiant seeks withdrawal merely because she no longer wishes to be involved in a case.
In determining whether a prima facie case justifying modification of primary residential responsibility has been established, unless the opposing party's counter-affidavits conclusively establish the moving party's allegations have no credibility, the court must accept the truth of the moving party's allegations.
A district court's award of attorney fees is abuse of discretion when the district court did not apply the correct law in deciding substantive issues, and a party's claims were not frivolous when examined under the correct legal standards.
