PETERS-RIEMERS V. RIEMERS
644 N.W.2d 197 (2002)
NATURE OF THE CASE: Roland (H) appealed a judgment awarding custody of the parties' son
to Jenese (W) with supervised visitation for H.
FACTS: H met W, a non-U.S. citizen, in Belize in 1995 while vacationing there. H was at
that time married to another woman, and he falsely informed W that he was in the process of
divorcing his wife. W left Belize and moved to North Dakota. H provided her an apartment in
Grand Forks and lived with her there. H also frequently returned to Beulah where he would
reside with his wife and their five children. H had other extramarital affairs while
residing with W which, when she discovered them, created a constant source of distress and
conflict within their relationship. W became pregnant on June 24, 1997and H divorced his
wife in 1998, and on March 6, 1999 H and W were married. H sponsored W's application for
permanent residency in the United States. After incurring several instances of physical
abuse by H, W filed a complaint on March 7, 2000 seeking dissolution of the marriage. Upon
finding H had committed domestic violence, the court awarded physical custody of child to W
and provided H 'closely supervised' visitation. H appealed.
