No. 20020012

Appeal from the District Court of McIntosh County, South Central Judicial District, the Honorable Thomas J. Schneider, Judge.

AFFIRMED.

Per Curiam.

Sidney A. Gross, Gross Law Firm, P.O. Box 154, Ashley, ND 58413-0154, for plaintiff and appellee.

Bettenhausen v. Bettenhausen

[¶1] Joyce Bettenhausen appealed from a judgment of divorce awarding her custody of the couple’s minor child, dividing the marital property, awarding neither permanent or rehabilitative spousal support to either party, but retaining jurisdiction to again consider the issue.  Joyce contends the trial court was clearly erroneous in refusing to award her spousal support.  Further, she contends the trial court's division of the marital debt and property was also clearly erroneous.  There is sufficient evidence to support the trial court’s decision.  We, therefore, summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2).
