¶1 Carl Myrland (Carl) appeals from the 2009 Order dismissing his Petition for Dissolution and Parenting Plan for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. We address the following issues:

¶3 2. Was the District Court correct in setting aside the Parenting Plan for lack of subject matter jurisdiction?

¶5 We remand for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
