1. “"After a custody decision has been made, visitation is governed by N.D.C.C. § 14-05-22, which provides, in part: 2. After making an award of custody, the court shall, upon request of the noncustodial parent, grant such rights of visitation as will enable the child and the noncustodial parent to maintain a parent-child relationship that will be beneficial to the child, unless the court finds, after a hearing, that visitation is likely to endanger the child's physical or emotional health. .... "The primary purpose of visitation is to promote the best interests of children. Visitation is a right of the child and is presumed to be in the child's best interest. A trial court's decision on visitation is a finding of fact that will not be reversed unless it is clearly erroneous. A trial court's findings of fact are presumptively correct. We view the evidence in the light most favorable to a trial court's findings of fact. We conclude the trial court's decision to appoint a psychologist to evaluate and facilitate visitation ... and the trial court's other visitation determinations are not clearly erroneous."”
