Bott v. Bott

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Jason Bott's motion under N.D.R.Civ.P. 60(b)(6) to amend a stipulated divorce judgment's property distribution. Although a final property division may be modified through Rule 60, Jason did not establish extraordinary circumstances, manifest injustice, or a contractual basis for disturbing the judgment. The court also concluded that the district court did not abuse its discretion in finding the parties had canceled their later agreement, assuming without deciding that the agreement was valid.
