Calculate South Dakota Child Support

If you are a South Dakota resident and have children, you may be wondering how child support works in this state. South Dakota’s child support laws are designed to ensure that both parents contribute financially to the care of their children.

Child support in South Dakota is calculated using a formula that takes into account the income of both parents, the number of children, and the amount of time each parent spends with the children. The amount of child support that is ordered will depend on the specific circumstances of each case.

If you are seeking child support from the other parent of your child, you can contact the South Dakota Division of Child Support for assistance. The Division of Child Support can help you locate the other parent, establish paternity, and collect child support payments.

If you are a non-custodial parent who is owed child support, the Division of Child Support can also help you collect the payments that are owed to you. South Dakota offers a number of enforcement options for child support, including wage withholding, asset seizure, and interception of tax refunds.

The South Dakota Division of Child Support is committed to helping families obtain the child support they need and deserve. If you have questions about child support in South Dakota, utilize the resources below, including our child support calculator.
