Appeal from the District Court of Sargent County, Southeast Judicial District,

Sorlie v. Sorlie
No. 20180071
Per Curiam.
[¶1] Indiana Sorlie appealed from a district court judgment awarding Michael Sorlie
primary residential responsibility of their minor child. Indiana Sorlie argues the
district court erred in applying the best interest factors and in awarding primary
residential responsibility to Michael Sorlie instead of to her, or, in the alternative, not
awarding equal residential responsibility to the parties. This Court reviews a district
court’s decision on primary residential responsibility under the clearly erroneous
standard. Rebenitsch v. Rebenitsch, 2018 ND 48, ¶ 4, 907 N.W.2d 41. Indiana Sorlie
did not request equal residential responsibility from the district court. We conclude
the court’s findings on the best interest factors and its award of primary residential
responsibility of the child to Michael Sorlie were not clearly erroneous. Follman v.
Follman, 2017 ND 58, ¶ 1, 891 N.W.2d 778. We summarily affirm the judgment
under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2).
