Copy And Paste In Legal North Dakota Financial Checkup Forms For Free

Contrary to common belief, in Minnesota there is no particular age at which a child gets to decide which parent he wants to live with.

In North Dakota, custody is called ?parental rights and responsibilities.? When a judge makes an order for parental rights and responsibilities, s/he will decide two basic things: ?decision-making responsibility? and ?residential responsibility.?

While North Dakota's power of attorney laws are silent on notarization, signing your POA in the presence of a notary public is very strongly recommended. Many financial institutions will not want to rely on a POA unless it has been notarized?a process that helps to authenticate the document.

In Minnesota, there is not set age limit on when a child can decide which parent to live with. The court will consider the child's wishes to the extent that the child is sufficiently mature to express reasoned and independent preferences as to the parenting time schedule.

There are no hard-and-fast rules as to the age at which a child is considered mature enough to testify as to a preference regarding residential responsibility. A court might find a ten year old in one case mature enough to express a preference, but find otherwise regarding a thirteen year old in another case.

A North Dakota durable power of attorney form allows a person to choose someone else to handle and conduct financial affairs on their behalf. The powers handed over can be as trivial as paying bills to as serious as running the day-to-day operations of a business.
