North Dakota Supreme Court

Interest of A.E.E.

December 19, 20242024 ND 230

Summary

The North Dakota Supreme Court affirmed the juvenile court’s denial of the paternal grandparents’ petition to remove the maternal aunt and uncle as co‑guardians of A.E.E. The Court held that the lower court’s factual findings were not clearly erroneous and that the petitioning party bears the pre‑ponderance‑of‑evidence burden to prove a modification is in the child’s best interests.
