N.D. Cent. Code § 32-29.4-04

Arbitration agreement

1. An arbitration agreement must:

a. Be in a record signed by the parties;

b. Identify the arbitrator, an arbitration organization, or a method of selecting an arbitrator; and c. Identify the family law dispute the parties intend to arbitrate.

2. An agreement in a record to arbitrate a family law dispute that arises between the parties before, at the time, or after the agreement is made is valid and enforceable as any other contract and irrevocable except on a ground that exists at law or in equity for the revocation of a contract.

3. If a party objects to arbitration on the ground the arbitration agreement is unenforceable or the agreement does not include a family law dispute, the court shall decide whether the agreement is enforceable or includes the family law dispute.
