Kingstone v. Tedrow Kingstone

Summary

The North Dakota Supreme Court affirmed the district court’s upward deviation of $1,500 in child support and the reinstated $750,000 life‑insurance obligation. The Court held that the trial court’s findings on best‑interest, the amount of the deviation, and the life‑insurance order were sufficiently explicit and not clearly erroneous or an abuse of discretion. The mandate rule barred relitigation of issues already decided on the first appeal.
