North Dakota Supreme Court

Vormestrand v. Craig

March 26, 20262026 ND 69

Summary

The court affirmed the amended judgment awarding Vormestrand primary residential responsibility and the denial of Craig's motion for a new trial or reconsideration. It held that although the district court misstated the threshold for considering domestic-violence evidence, the error was harmless because the court found Craig's evidence not credible. The court also rejected Craig's procedural challenges concerning relocation, witness notes, self-representation, unresolved motions, and alleged surprise. Craig's reconsideration arguments were waived on appeal.
