Friesner v. Friesner

Daniel Friesner appealed a district court divorce judgment awarding Angelina Friesner marital property, primary residential responsibility of the parties' minor children, spousal support, and attorney's fees. "A district court's choice for primary residential responsibility between two fit parents is a difficult one, and the Supreme Court will not retry the case or substitute its judgment for that of the district court when its decision is supported by the evidence." Permanent spousal support may be appropriate when there is a substantial income disparity between the spouses that cannot be remedied by property division or rehabilitative spousal support. Finding no reversible error, the North Dakota Supreme Court affirmed. View "Friesner v. Friesner" on Justia Law
