Hofland v. Hofland

No. 20160178

Per Curiam.

[¶1] Mandi Hofland appealed a district court’s order granting joint residential responsibility to herself and Seth Hofland until their child enters kindergarten at which time primary residential responsibility shifts to Seth Hofland. Mandi Hofland argues the district court erred in finding N.D.C.C. § 14-09-06.2 factors (a) and (c) favored neither party and factor (g) favored Seth Hofland. Because the district court’s findings were not clearly erroneous, we affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2).
