South Dakota Principles of Child Support:

South Dakota child support guidelines are based on the Income Shares Model for calculating child support. The monthly support amount determined by applying the guidelines is divided proportionally according to each parent¹s income. These two support amounts are then offset to establish which parent will pay the other parent for support of the child. All income is typically verified by examining past W-2's and child support worksheets are available at the courthouse.

Child support is determined by the state guidelines, which is based primarily on the income of each parent. Income is defined as follows: (1)      Compensation paid to an employee for personal services, whether salary, wages, commissions, bonus, or otherwise designated; (2)      Self-employment income including gain, profit, or loss from a business, farm, or profession; (3)      Periodic payments from pensions or retirement programs, including social security or veteran's benefits, disability payments, or insurance contracts; (4)      Interest, dividends, rentals, royalties, or other gain derived from investment of capital assets; (5)      Gain or loss from the sale, trade, or conversion of capital assets; (6)      Unemployment insurance benefits; (7)      Worker's compensation benefits; and (8)      Benefits in lieu of compensation including military pay allowances.

If the income of the parents is derived from seasonal employment, or received in payments other than regular, recurring payments, such income shall be annualized to determine a monthly average income.

If a child's needs are not being met through the income of the parents, assets shall be considered. If the parents have savings, life insurance or other assets in amounts unrelated to income, these holdings shall be considered. The parents' ability to borrow may be used to determine financial ability.

The court may enter an order allocating the reasonable child care expenses for the child, which are due to employment of either parent, job search of either parent, or the training or education of either parent necessary to obtain a job or enhance earning potential. The court may consider whether the federal child care tax credit for such minor child is available as a benefit to the custodial parent. If the federal child care tax credit is available to the custodial parent, it shall be calculated at twenty-five percent of the eligible expense. (South Dakota Laws - Volume 9A - Title 25 - Chapters: 25-3-11, 25-4-38, 25-4-45, 25-7)
