VANDE WALLE, Chief Justice.
[¶ 1] Amber Hageman, now known as Amber Sagert, appealed from an amended divorce judgment modifying a prior judgment and granting Nick Hageman primary residential responsibility for their minor child. Because we conclude the district court did not clearly err in modifying the judgment and awarding Hageman primary residential responsibility of the child, we affirm.
I
[¶ 2] In May 2006, Hageman and Sa-gert were married, and they had one child in 2008, K.N.H. In August 2009, they were divorced under a stipulated judgment entered in Polk County, Minnesota. Under the stipulated judgment, the parties agreed they would share joint custody of K.N.H. under a rotating schedule in which K.N.H. would alternate equally between Sagert and Hageman on a two-day, two-day, three-day pattern. Hageman and Sa-gert specifically agreed it was in KN.H.’s best interests to reside in the “Grand Forks, North Dakota/East Grand Forks, Minnesota area.” The stipulated judgment specifically allowed either party to bring a motion to modify residential responsibility of the child if either moved from the area:
5. RESIDENCE OF MINOR CHILD. The award of joint physical custody herein is contingent upon both parties’ continued residence in the Grand Forks, ND/East Grand Forks, MN area. The parties agree it would best serve the minor child’s best interests for the child to continue to live in the Grand Forks/East Grand Forks area until he reaches the age of eighteen (18) years. For that reason, the parties agree that if either party attempts to relocate outside of the Grand Forks/East Grand Forks area with the minor child, that ■proposed relocation will constitute a material change in circumstances allowing either party to file a motion for modification of custody.
(Emphasis added.)
[¶ 3] Both parties resided in the stipulated area until September 2010, when Sa-gert moved “approximately 75 miles” from Grand Forks to St. Thomas, North Dakota. Sagert moved to the home of Jordan Sagert, whom she subsequently married in June 2011. At the time of the hearing in this case, the Sagerts were also expecting their first child to be born in January 2012. Jordan Sagert owns a crop consulting business and hobby farm in the St. Thomas area. Amber Sagert works for the consulting business. Sagert has lived with her husband in St. Thomas since September 2010. Hageman continues to reside in Grand Forks, North Dakota. He remarried in February 2011. There is testimony the parties continued with the joint custody schedule with K.N.H.
[¶ 4] In February 2011, Sagert registered the Minnesota divorce judgment in North Dakota and moved to modify primary residential responsibility of the child based on her relocation. Hageman responded and also moved for primary residential responsibility of the child. After an evidentiary hearing on the parties’ motions, the district court awarded Hageman primary residential responsibility of the child.

[¶ 5] A parent may move to modify primary residential responsibility under the framework provided in N.D.C.C. § 14-09-06.6. Haroldson v. Haroldson, 2012 ND 44, ¶ 6, 813 N.W.2d 539. Section 14-09-06.6, N.D.C.C., provides specified limitations on post-judgment modifications of primary [27]*27residential responsibility, stating in relevant part:
1. Unless agreed to in writing by the parties, or if included in the parenting plan, no motion for an order to modify primary residential responsibility may be made earlier than two years after the date of entry of an order establishing primary residential responsibility, except in accordance with subsection 3.
[[Image here]]
7. The court may modify a prior order concerning primary residential responsibility at any time if the court finds a stipulated agreement by the parties to modify the order is in the best interest of the child.
8. Upon a motion to modify primary residential responsibility under this section, the burden of proof is on the moving party.
[¶ 6] In this case, the parties agreed that a material change occurred based on Sagert’s relocation to the St. Thomas area, triggering the divorce judgment’s provision allowing either party to file a motion to modify custody. The district court found the physical distance between the parties’ current residences made the earlier stipulated arrangement “totally impractical, if not impossible.” Based on the divorce judgment’s provision allowing a judicial review and, if necessary, a redeter-mination of parent responsibilities and parenting time, the court moved directly to consideration of the best interest factors under N.D.C.C. § 14-09-06.2.
[¶ 7] To modify primary residential responsibility the district court must find a modification is necessary to serve the child’s best interests. See State v. Neustel, 2010 ND 216, ¶ 12, 790 N.W.2d 476. The court must decide which parent will “better promote the [child’s] best interests and welfare.” Marsden v. Koop, 2010 ND 196, ¶ 9, 789 N.W.2d 531. In awarding primary residential responsibility, the court considers the best interest factors under N.D.C.C. § 14-09-06.2(1):
a. The love, affection, and other emotional ties existing between the parents and child and the ability of each parent to provide the child with nurture, love, affection, and guidance.
b. The ability of each parent to assure that the child receives adequate food, clothing, shelter, medical care, and a safe environment.
c. The child’s developmental needs and the ability of each parent to meet those needs, both in the present and in the future.
d. The sufficiency and stability of each parent’s home environment, the impact of extended family, the length of time the child has lived in each parent’s home, and the desirability of maintaining continuity in the child’s home and community.
e. The willingness and ability of each parent to facilitate and encourage a close and continuing relationship between the other parent and the child.
f. The moral fitness of the parents, as that fitness impacts the child.
g. The mental and physical health of the parents, as that health impacts the child.
h. The home, school, and community records of the child and the potential effect of any change.
i. If the court finds by clear and convincing evidence that a child is of sufficient maturity to make a sound judgment, the court may give substantial weight to the preference of the mature child....
j. Evidence of domestic violence....
[28]*28k. The interaction and interrelationship, or the potential for interaction and interrelationship, of the child with any person who resides in, is present, or frequents the household of a parent and who may significantly affect the child’s best interests ....
l. The making of false allegations not made in good faith, by one parent against the other, of harm to a child as defined in section 50-25.1-02.
m. Any other factors considered by the court to be relevant to a particular parental rights and responsibilities dispute.
N.D.C.C. § 14-09-06.2(l)(a)-(m).
[¶ 8] The district court’s decision to modify primary residential responsibility is a finding of fact, subject to the clearly erroneous standard of review. Vining v. Renton, 2012 ND 86, ¶ 15, 816 N.W.2d 63. A finding of fact is clearly erroneous if there is no evidence to support it, if the finding is induced by an erroneous view of the law, or if the reviewing court is left with a definite and firm conviction a mistake has been made. Id. “In applying the clearly erroneous standard, we will not reweigh evidence, reassess witness credibility, retry a custody case, or substitute our judgment for the trial court’s decision merely because this Court may have reached a different result.” Hammeren v. Hammeren, 2012 ND 225, ¶ 8, 823 N.W.2d 482. “A choice between two permissible views of the weight of the evidence is not clearly erroneous.” Id. “[0]ur deferential review is especially applicable for a difficult primary residential responsibility decision involving two fit parents.” Id. (quotations omitted).
[¶ 9] Here, in awarding Hageman primary residential responsibility, the district court considered each of the statutory factors in N.D.C.C. § 14-09-06.2 and found factors (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (h), and (k) favored neither party. The court further found factors (f), (g), (i), (j), and (l) were not relevant. The court, however, found factor (m) favored Hageman, stating the parties had previously agreed in the stipulated judgment that the interests of the child would be met by continuing to reside in the immediate Grand Forks area.

[¶ 10] Sagert argues the district court erred in deciding she had not provided sufficient evidence to grant her primary residential responsibility because the court failed to adequately consider the evidence presented. She asserts the evidence in the record shows she has been K.N.H.’s primary caregiver since birth, she would provide a stable and loving home environment conducive to K.N.H.’s development, K.N.H. would not need daycare on a regular basis, and K.N.H. would grow and develop a strong, loving relationship with a new sibling. Sagert argues the court clearly erred in its findings under factors (a), (b), (c), (d), (k), and (m), which she contends should favor her.
A
[¶ 11] Under factor (a), the love, affection, and other emotional ties between the parents and child, Sagert argues the district court clearly erred in finding this factor favored neither party because the court failed to make sufficient findings based on the evidence in the record.
[¶ 12] Sagert contends, even though the parties had joint primary residential responsibility, most of her parenting time was spent exclusively with K.N.H. when the child was with her because she had been able to arrange her work schedule around her parenting time. She asserts she has not needed daycare and would not need daycare in the future, while Hageman [29]*29testified that he takes K.N.H. to daycare when he is working and would be required to do so if awarded primary residential responsibility. Further, Sagert argues that she has made KN.H.’s regular doctor appointments, that the court should have found that she is K.N.H.’s primary caregiver, and that this factor should favor her.
[¶ 13] In finding factor (a) favored neither party, the district court found: “Both clearly love their son very much and both clearly have the intention and ability to provide their son with nurturing, love, affection and guidance he deserves and needs.” Although Sagert argues she has been the primary caregiver, there is testimony that the parties in fact shared joint physical custody and Sagert acknowledged that both she and Hageman each had the child 50 percent of the time. There is testimony that K.N.H. has a strong father-son bond and that K.N.H. looks up to Hageman as a role model. There is also testimony that when the child is sick or injured, K.N.H. looks to his father for comfort.
[¶ 14] We conclude the district court’s finding that factor (a) favored neither party is not clearly erroneous.
B
[¶ 15] Under factor (b), the ability of each parent to assure the child receives adequate food, clothing, shelter, medical care, and a safe environment, Sagert contends the district court’s finding this factor favored neither party is clearly erroneous because she provided for “more” of KN.H.’s needs. She argues this factor should have favored her. Sagert argues although each party can and has provided for K.N.H., the testimony indicated that Hageman had not been the party to assure K.N.H. received medical care and that Sa-gert had made the child’s doctor appointments.
[¶ 16] The district court found this factor favored neither party because both parties are “clearly committed to KN.H.’s emotional and physical needs, and both have the resources to ensure that these needs are met.” Hageman testified that he is capable of making routine medical appointments and he had taken K.N.H. to emergency care while on vacation. There is testimony Hageman attended medical appointments and would be capable of making appointments for K.N.H. Further, there is no evidence Hageman is incapable of providing adequate medical care to their child.
[¶ 17] Because there is evidence supporting the court’s finding, we conclude the district court’s finding on factor (b) is not clearly erroneous.
C
[¶ 18] Under factor (c), the child’s developmental needs and ability of each parent to meet those needs, Sagert argues the district court clearly erred in finding this factor favored neither party.
[¶ 19] Sagert asserts this factor should favor her because K.N.H. would essentially receive a better education in the Cavalier school district. Based on her testimony, Sagert contends that K.N.H. would attend school in Cavalier, that the class sizes are smaller than in Grand Forks, and that K.N.H. would have the opportunity to attend activities with families and parents known by Sagert.
[¶ 20] In finding factor (c) favored neither party, the district court found K.N.H. was a normal and happy three-year-old with no adverse developmental problems. The court also found the parties could put aside their differences for their child and would be able to meet the child’s age-appropriate developmental and educational needs in the future.
[30]*30[¶ 21] At the hearing, Hageman testified about the educational and extra-curricular activities available to K.N.H. in Grand Forks, in addition to his work with K.N.H. using preschool workbooks. There is testimony in the record supporting the finding that both parties are able to meet K.N.H.’s developmental and educational needs, and we conclude the district court’s finding on factor (c) is not clearly erroneous.
D
[¶ 22] Under factor (d), the sufficiency and stability of each parent’s home environment, Sagert argues the district court’s finding this factor favored neither party is clearly erroneous because the court failed to consider all the evidence and failed to “accurately analyze” the parties’ testimony. Because Sagert contends she is able to provide a more stable home, she asserts this factor should significantly favor her.
[¶ 23] In finding factor (d) favored neither party, the district court found:
Both Nick and Amber have re-married, and it appears that they have continued to co-parent their son just about equally since divorce despite their geographical distance from one another. Amber moved to the St. Thomas area in September 2010. Nick continues to reside in the residence he has occupied since K.N.H. was but a few months old. Nick’s wife presently commutes from Grand Forks to a job in Fargo three days a week and, although there is some travel associated with Nick’s job, he indicated that he can usually work from home when necessary. Amber’s husband is self-employed and he is also very flexible with his work schedule. Since Amber works from her home, there appears to be a very minimal need for regular daycare at this time when K.N.H. is with Nick or with Amber, although certainly there will be such occasions. From evidence presented, it appears that both parents can provide a stable environment for K.N.H.[ ] It also appears that the step-parents and extended families on both sides all have an excellent relationship with, and certainly care for, K.N.H.[] Conversely, it appears that K.N.H. is very comfortable with both of his step-parents as well as his extended family. Both parents are living in stable home environments. This factor favors neither party.
[¶ 24] Sagert contends the district court failed to consider the evidence presented and clearly erred in stating minimal daycare would be needed by both parties. Sagert asserts the court failed to consider Hageman’s testimony that K.N.H. would be in full-time daycare if he were granted primary residential responsibility and that K.N.H. would not be attending daycare if he were with her, except to attend preschool. Sagert also asserts that both Hageman and his wife have travel associated with their work and that there would be a change in KN.H.’s life in the future based on Hageman’s testimony that he and his wife are looking for a new house.
[¶ 25] Although we have said a party’s work schedule may be an appropriate consideration in deciding primary residential responsibility, see, e.g., Hammeren, 2012 ND 225, ¶ 25, 823 N.W.2d 482, the district court considered the parties’ work schedules and need for daycare. Additionally, there is evidence in the record regarding KN.H.’s various connections to the Grand Forks area, the time spent with extended family members, and testimony relating to the child’s involvement in preschool and other activities.
[¶ 26] We conclude the district court did not clearly err in finding factor (d) favored neither party.
[31]*31E
[¶ 27] Under factor (k), the interaction and interrelationship with any person in a parent’s household, Sagert argues the district court clearly erred in finding this factor favored neither party because the court failed to find that developing a relationship with K.N.H.’s future half-sibling would be in KN.H.’s best interests.
[¶ 28] Sagert argues the court failed to recognize Sagert was expecting a child and K.N.H. would have a half-sibling residing in the Sagerts’ home. Sagert contends this factor strongly favors her because K.N.H. would benefit by developing a strong, healthy relationship with a sibling. While acknowledging this case is not about splitting custody of two young children, Sagert argues the court’s decision has the same effect and K.N.H.’s potential development of a relationship with his half-sibling is an essential fact that should be considered and given a significant weight.
[¶ 29] The district court found:
Amber’s parents reside in [the] Thief River Falls, Minnesota area, and she has a sister residing in Grand Forks. Although she has no immediate family in the St. Thomas area, there nevertheless appears to be frequent inter-familial contact. Nick’s immediate family resides in close proximity to Grand Forks. As indicated above, both step-parents and extended families care for K.N.H., and he appears to be equally comfortable with all as well. This factor favors neither party.
The district court made detailed findings under factor (k), showing its consideration of the evidence. We conclude the court did not clearly err in failing to make a specific finding about KN.H.’s potential relationship with an unborn half-sibling, nor has any decision relying on this factor been drawn to our attention. Based upon our review of the record, we conclude the district court did not clearly err in finding factor (k) favored neither party.
IV
[¶ 30] Under factor (m), any other factor considered to be relevant, Sagert argues the district court clearly erred in finding this factor favored Hageman because the court improperly required her to overcome a “presumption” K.N.H. should remain in the Grand Forks area. Sagert argues the court failed to weigh the advantages and disadvantages of K.N.H. living in rural St. Thomas with his mother. Sa-gert also argues the court erred in requiring Sagert to provide sufficient evidence to prove KN.H.’s removal from the Grand Forks area was in his best interest.
[¶ 31] After making detailed findings that the preceding factors favored neither party, the district court found factor (m) favored Hageman:
As indicated above, the trial court does take note of the fact that at time of divorce, both Amber and Nick agreed that the interests of their son would be best met if he were to continue to reside in the immediate Grand Forks area. (August 24, 2009 Polk County (Minnesota) District Court Judgment, para 5). Nothing has been presented to convince this court that K.N.H.’s best interests now require a change from the area which both parties agreed as time of divorce [sic] would best meet those interests. This factor favors Nick.
[¶ 32] Sagert argues the district court’s finding failed to consider the evidence presented at the hearing. She asserts the court erred because, if she were awarded primary residential responsibility, K.N.H. would live on a farm rather than in an apartment building with no yard, K.N.H. would not have to attend daycare on a full-time basis, K.N.H. would have already [32]*32bonded with his unborn sibling, and Hage-man and his wife travel for work-related purposes. Sagert argues these facts should weigh heavily in her favor.
[¶ 33] In finding factor (m) favored Hageman, the district court considered all of the other factors and found both Sagert and Hageman had previously stipulated that K.N.H.’s interests would be best served if he continued to reside in the Grand Forks area. The testimony at the hearing indicates the parties jointly agreed to include this provision in the divorce judgment, and before their divorce the parties had returned to the area shortly after K.N.H.’s birth, specifically so K.N.H. would be near family and friends. Hage-man also testified he grew up in the Grand Forks area. Although Sagert testified Hageman had approached her about moving to Fargo about a week after they had divorced, both Hageman and his new wife testified at the hearing that they intended to continue to reside in Grand Forks and had no intent to move to Fargo.
[¶ 34] Nevertheless, Sagert argues the district court’s statement under factor (m), finding she had not provided “sufficient evidence to give the court reason to believe that a move out of the Grand Forks area was in K.N.H.’s best interest,” was an erroneous view of the law and, in effect, placed a “heavier burden” on her for an instate relocation out of the Grand Forks area. Sagert contends the court’s analysis under factor (m) is erroneous because it mistakenly applies the provisions for moving out of state in N.D.C.C. § 14-09-07, to this case, which involves relocation within the state of North Dakota. We believe Sagert misconstrues the district court’s findings under factor (m), and we conclude the court did not place a heavier burden on Sagert but merely gave credence to the parties’ stipulated divorce judgment.
[¶ 35] The district court did not cite or rely upon the provisions for moving out of state in N.D.C.C. § 14-09-07. Instead, directly following its finding on factor (m), the district court explained that it was “readily apparent that young K.N.H. has two parents who love and care for him very deeply” and thus “determining in which parent’s home he should reside has been extremely difficult.” The court found Sagert and Hageman had previously stipulated that KN.H.’s interests were served by continuing to reside in the Grand Forks area and that no evidence had been presented at the hearing demonstrating K.N.H.’s best interests required a change from the stipulated area.
[¶ 36] We have long encouraged the peaceful settlement of disputes in divorce cases. See, e.g., Toni v. Toni, 2001 ND 193, ¶ 10, 636 N.W.2d 396. “It is the promotion of the strong public policy favoring prompt and peaceful resolution of divorce disputes that generates a judicial bias in favor of the adoption of a stipulated agreement of the parties.” Id. However, we have also recognized that any stipulated judgment precluding modification of primary responsibility violates public policy. See Haroldson, 2012 ND 44, ¶ 6, 813 N.W.2d 539 (citing Zeller v. Zeller, 2002 ND 35, ¶¶ 17-18, 640 N.W.2d 53). Further, as this Court has said, “[I]f the previous custody placement was based upon the parties’ stipulation and not by consideration of the evidence and court[-]made findings, the trial court must consider all relevant evidence, including pre-divorce conduct and activities, in making a considered and appropriate custody decision in the best interests of the children.” Woods v. Ryan, 2005 ND 92, ¶ 11, 696 N.W.2d 508 (quoting Kelly v. Kelly, 2002 ND 37, ¶ 22, 640 N.W.2d 38) (quotations omitted); see also Wetch v. Wetch, 539 N.W.2d 309, 312-13 (N.D.1995).
[33]*33[¶ 37] Here, because the parties originally had joint custody, the district court found it was necessary to award one of the parties primary residential responsibility. Rather than placing a heavier burden on Sagert, however, the court acknowledged the parties’ prior stipulation. The court was reluctant to move the child’s residence outside of Grand Forks and found no evidence showed K.N.H.’s best interests required changing the prior stipulation. Further, in considering the parties’ prior stipulated judgment, the court did not construe it to preclude modification of primary residential responsibility outside of Grand Forks, but rather considered relevant evidence leading to the parties’ agreement that, at the time of the judgment, raising K.N.H. in the Grand Forks area was in his best interests.
[¶ 38] Considering the circumstances leading to the stipulated divorce judgment and the totality of the court’s findings, including that immediate family resides in the Grand Forks area, we are able to understand the court’s rationale and decision to award custody as it did to Hage-man. On this record, we conclude the court did not clearly err in finding factor (m) favored Hageman based, in part, upon the parties’ prior stipulation. We therefore conclude the court did not err in finding factor (m) favored Hageman and in awarding him primary residential responsibility of the child.
V
[¶ 39] We affirm the amended judgment.
