Vivatson v. HaugenNo. 20140005

Per Curiam.

[¶1] Kelsey Vivatson appeals from a district court judgment awarding Joshua Haugen primary residential responsibility of their minor child. Vivatson argues the district court erred in applying the best interest factors and in awarding primary residential responsibility to Haugen. We conclude the court's findings on the best interest factors and its determination to award Haugen primary residential responsibility of the child were not clearly erroneous, and we affirm the judgment under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1 (a)(2).
