N.D. Cent. Code § 27-20.2-11: Transfer to another juvenile court within the state

If the child resides in a county of the state and the proceeding is commenced in a court of another county, the court, on motion of a party or on motion of the court made before final disposition and in consultation with the court in the other county, may transfer the proceeding to the county of the child's residence for further action. Like transfer may be made if the residence of the child changes pending the proceeding. The proceeding must be transferred if the child has been adjudicated delinquent or a child in need of services and other proceedings involving the child are pending in the juvenile court of the county of the child's residence.
