Noncustodial Parent
The noncustodial parent is the person who does not have primary care, custody or control of the child and has an obligation to pay child support.
Below you will find information for noncustodial parents.
Alleged father or noncustodial parent
may apply for Division of Child Support services to establish paternity
and/or a child support order.
To voluntary acknowledge paternity, both
parents must sign a paternity affidavit under oath.
By signing the affidavit, the law
presumes the named father is the biological father of the child and action
can proceed to establish a child support obligation without any further
legal proceeding to establish paternity.
: The South Dakota Legislature has established
guidelines which courts must use to determine child support payments.
If you have a South Dakota child support
order and want to modify the child support obligation, a Petition for
Modification is required to be completed to initiate the process.
: Noncustodial parents can use the automated voice
response system toll-free from a touchtone phone to obtain up-to-date
information about their child support payments.
Department of Social Services can restrict the issuance and/or renewal of any South Dakota driver, professional, hunting and/or fishing licenses if the noncustodial parent owes $1,000 or more in past-due
child support.
: Noncustodial parents can use the automated
voice response system toll-free from a touchtone phone to obtain
up-to-date information about their child support payments.

information.

Child Support allows child support payments to be made with credit/debit cards and e-check.
