DENNIS v. State of North Dakota, Statutory Real Party in Interest (2025)

Supreme Court of North Dakota.

Xavier DENNIS, Plaintiff and Appellant v. Veronika DENNIS, Defendant and Appellee and State of North Dakota, Statutory Real Party in Interest

No. 20240288

Decided: April 24, 2025

Kyle R. Craig, Minot, ND, for plaintiff and appellant. Quinn A. Harmon, Bismarck, ND, for defendant and appellee.

[¶1] Xavier Dennis appealed from a divorce judgment. Xavier Dennis argues the district court erred in distributing the parties’ marital property and in awarding Veronika Dennis primary residential responsibility. We conclude the court's distribution of the parties’ marital estate and award of primary residential responsibility is not clearly erroneous. We summarily affirm the divorce judgment under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2) and deny Veronika Dennis's request for attorney's fees on appeal.

Per Curiam.
