Berdahl v. Berdahl 2022 ND 136
Docket No.: 20210320
Filing Date: 7/7/2022
Case Type: Appeal - Civil - Divorce - Property
Author: McEvers, Lisa K. Fair

Highlight: A district court’s valuations of marital property are not clearly erroneous if they are within the range of evidence, and the value the court gives to marital property depends on the evidence presented.

Both economic and noneconomic fault may be considered in dividing marital property, but evidence presented may indicate both parties must share responsibility for the failure of the marriage.

Section 14-05-24(1), N.D.C.C. (2017), is not ambiguous and the district court does not have discretion to choose a valuation date for the marital estate. A court clearly errs by including property acquired after the valuation date provided by statute.

District court requiring one party to continue to pay post-separation marital expenses was equitable, as paying party had greater earnings and earning capacity and the obligation to pay had predetermined end date.

Rehabilitative spousal support may be awarded to provide receiving spouse with opportunity to acquire education, training, work skills, or experience to become self-sustaining.

A district court abuses its discretion by awarding attorney’s fees without proper statutory authority and without specific findings relating to ability to pay and need.

Docket No.: 20210344
Filing Date: 7/7/2022
Case Type: Appeal - Criminal - Misc. Felony
Author: Crothers, Daniel John

Highlight: District courts “shall take into account the reasonable damages sustained by the victim or victims of the criminal offense, which damages are limited to those directly related to the criminal offense and expenses actually incurred as a direct result of the defendant’s criminal action” in determining restitution amounts.

Self-defense operates as a bar to conviction rather than to reduce or eliminate restitution.
