South Dakota Divorce Mediation, Counseling and Parenting Classes
South Dakota Divorce Mediation:
There is no mandatory mediation in South Dakota. South Dakota Marriage Counseling:
The court can delay the divorce proceeding for up to 30 days when it appears there is a reasonable possibility of reconciliation. This is done so the spouses have time to seek counseling. After the 30 days, either party may move for the dissolution of the marriage, and the court may enter its judgment. During the 30 days, the court may enter an order for the support and maintenance of the parties, the custody, support, maintenance, and education of the minor children of the marriage, attorney fees, and for the preservation of the property of the parties. [South Dakota Codified Laws; Title 25-4-17.2]. South Dakota Parenting Class:
Parenting classes are required in some counties. These classes may be required for all parents who are divorcing. The classes range in length and you are given a Certificate of Completion to provide to the court. The goal of the classes is to educate the parents on best practices for co-parenting during and after divorce. The classes are often held at the courthouse or online.
