Syllabus

In a child support action brought by the State on behalf of a parent, a counterclaim by the defendant seeking a determination of primary residential responsibility is not a counterclaim against the State for purposes of N.D.R.Civ.P. 13(d). A continuance is the proper remedy for a party claiming unfair surprise. A court's oral findings on the best interest factors may explain its written findings.
