North Dakota Century Code Title 14. Domestic Relations and Persons § 14-05-08.1. Recognition of foreign decree of divorce and foreign annulment of marriage

A decree of divorce or of annulment of marriage obtained in a court of another jurisdiction is of no force or effect in this state, if the parties to the marriage were domiciled in this state at the time such decree was rendered.

If a person obtains a decree of divorce or of annulment of marriage from a court of another jurisdiction and was domiciled in this state within less than twelve months prior to obtaining the decree and resumes residence in this state within six months after obtaining the decree, it is prima facie evidence that such person did not abandon the person's domicile in this state prior to obtaining the decree.

The provisions of this section do not apply to any divorce or annulment of marriage obtained in proceedings begun prior to the passage of this section.
