In re Parenting of N.M.V.
Annotate this CaseLess than one year after N.M.V. was born to Erin Verploegen, Dustin Cross and Verploegen began dating. Verploegen and N.M.V. later moved into Cross’s home. Cross and Verploegen broke up several years later, and Verploegen and N.M.V. moved out. Thereafter, Cross petitioned the district court for a parenting interest in N.M.V. The district court denied the petition. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the district court’s findings of fact were not clearly erroneous and its ruling on Cross’s parental interest was supported by substantial credible evidence and was not an abuse of discretion.
