Gussiaas v. Neustel

No. 20100386

Per Curiam.

[¶1] Paulette Gussiaas, now known as Paulette Albrecht, appeals from an order and judgment entered after remand in Gussiaas v. Neustel , 2010 ND 216, ¶ 17, 790 N.W.2d 476, granting Shawn R. Neustel’s motion to change primary residential responsibility for the couple’s daughter from Albrecht to himself.  We conclude the district court’s revised findings on the best interest factors and its ultimate finding that a change in primary residential responsibility is necessary to serve the best interests of the child are not clearly erroneous.  We affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2).
