Syllabus

An existing parenting plan that creates conflict between a parent and the children can be a material change of circumstances for modification of the plan. A district court has broad discretion in determining which party bears the costs for an examination under N.D.R.Civ.P. 35 and for therapy. A parenting plan that gives a third party the power to unilaterally determine progress and set requirements without criteria from the district court is an improper delegation of the court's authority. The decision whether to hold a person in contempt is addressed to a district court's discretion, and will be reversed only upon a showing of an abuse of discretion.
