  2. Hoffman v. Hoffman

    2023 N.D. 18 (N.D. 2023)   Cited 1 times

    [¶4] Travis Hoffman argues the district court erred in denying his motion to modify residential responsibility by applying the heightened standard to his motion and, alternatively, finding he failed to satisfy that standard. "A district court's decision on whether to modify primary residential responsibility is a finding of fact, which will not be reversed on appeal unless it is clearly erroneous." Stoddard v. Singer, 2021 ND 23, ¶ 6, 954 N.W.2d 696. A finding of fact is clearly erroneous if it is induced by an erroneous view of the law, there is no evidence to support it, or if the Court is convinced, on the entire record, a mistake has been made.

    . . . Under the clearly erroneous standard of review, this Court will not "reweigh the evidence, reassess the credibility of witnesses, or substitute [its] own judgment for a district court's initial decision." Stoddard v. Singer, 2021 ND 23, ¶¶ 6-7, 954 N.W.2d 696 (internal citations omitted).

  6. Pioneer State Mut. Ins. Co. v. Bear Creek Gravel Inc.

    2021 N.D. 53 (N.D. 2021)

    A finding of fact is clearly erroneous if it is induced by an erroneous view of the law, if no evidence supports it, or if the reviewing court, on the entire evidence, is left with a definite and firm conviction a mistake has been made. Stoddard v. Singer , 2021 ND 23, ¶ 6, 954 N.W.2d 696. [¶7] This Court has not precisely defined "regular use."
