Code § 14-09.2-02","heading":"Appointment of parenting coordinator","body":"In any action for divorce, legal separation, paternity, or guardianship in which children are involved, the court, upon its own motion or by motion or agreement of the parties, may appoint a parenting coordinator to assist the parties in resolving disputes related to the parenting plan or court order. A party, at any time before the appointment of a parenting coordinator, may file a written objection to the appointment on the basis of domestic violence having been committed by another party against the objecting party or a child who is a subject of the action. After the objection is filed, a parenting coordinator may not be appointed unless, on the request of a party, a hearing is held and the court finds that a preponderance of the evidence does not support the objection. If a parenting coordinator is appointed, the court shall order appropriate measures be taken to ensure the physical and emotional safety of all parties and children.","path":["Title 14 Domestic Relations And Persons","Chapter 14-09.2 Parental Rights And Responsibilities"],"source_url":"https://ndlegis.gov/cencode/t14c09-2.pdf","current_through":"2026-07-31T11:12:02","vintage":"","retrieved_at":"2026-09-02T21:04:14Z","sha256":"1f60f67b1a1a6dae3058c765b08e4867d71783e22cc637a802cc20945affb469","source_id":"us-nd","stale":true,"prev":"us-nd/n.d.-cent.-code-14-09.2-01","next":"us-nd/n.d.-cent.-code-14-09.2-03"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
