In North Dakota, legal custody is known as in the statutes as "decision-making responsibility." The parents' custody order may specify the decision-making responsibility each parent has, but decision-making responsibility does not include decisions about child support. That is a separate determination.

Primary Residential Responsibility - One parent has the children most or all of the time. The other parent may have specific parenting times and usually owes child support to the parent with primary residential responsibility.

North Dakota law requires that when judges are deciding what's best for a child, they must consider all of the relevant factors, including: the love and emotional ties between the parents and child, along with each parent's ability to provide nurturing, affection, and guidance.

To start a Small Claims Court action, the Plaintiff completes the Claim Affidavit (Form 2) and files it with the clerk of court. Then, the Plaintiff arranges for service of a copy of the completed Claim Affidavit and five (5) other forms from the Small Claims Court packet on the Defendant.

A North Dakota vehicle power of attorney form is utilized to convey a vehicle owner's authority to make decisions related to the vehicle to an agent. This paperwork will entitle the agent to manage issues involving motor vehicles in North Dakota.

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.
