Melissa M. Moilan, and v. Arne v. Moilan, and Cross-Appellee

Summary

The North Dakota Supreme Court reversed the trial court’s judgment and remanded for further proceedings, finding the lower court erred in refusing spousal support, in its property division, and in valuing a retirement account, while affirming the visitation order and directing the trial court to consider attorney‑fee awards. The court applied the Ruff‑Fischer guidelines and rejected the minimalist view of rehabilitative support.
