Highlight

Where the initial order establishing primary residential responsibility or parenting time included consideration of a pattern of domestic violence, a new domestic violence act by the same parent satisfies the "material change" prong as a matter of law.
When the original order establishing primary residential responsibility or parenting time is based on a stipulated agreement, district courts retain limited discretion to decide whether to consider relevant pre-custody evidence only if the previous judge issued court-made findings on such evidence.
In cases in which a party alleges domestic violence, the analysis requires consideration of the domestic violence factor under either N.D.C.C. § 14-09-06.2(1)(j) or N.D.C.C. § 14-09-29, depending on whether the case involves residential responsibility or parenting time, before turning to the additional best interests factors under § 14-09-06.2.
Any domestic violence negatively impacts the best interests of the children, regardless of whether the domestic violence was between the parents rather than directed at the children.
