1. “'The district court has broad discretion in making contempt decisions.' Rath v. Rath , 2017 ND 128 , ¶ 9, 895 N.W.2d 306 . This Court will disturb a district court's contempt determination only if the court abused its discretion. Id. 'A district court abuses its discretion when it acts in an arbitrary, unreasonable, or unconscionable manner; its decision is not the product of a rational mental process leading to a reasoned determination; or it misinterprets or misapplies the law.' Id. This Court's review of a district court's determination on contempt is very limited. Sall v. Sall , 2011 ND 202 , ¶ 7, 804 N.W.2d 378 .”
