Steps to Modify a Child Support Order

1. Filing a petition to change a child support order

In South Dakota, the Circuit Court is the only entity with authority to modify a child support obligation. This is usually done in response to a petition filed by one of the parents. Either parent or a representative may file a petition to modify their child support order. A support order may be modified without showing any change in circumstances if the order was entered prior to July 1, 2017.

An order entered on or after July 1, 2017 may be modified only: 1) if it was entered three years or more from the date the petition is filed; or 2) upon showing that a substantial change in circumstances has occurred since the entry of the order. Petition for Modification forms are available from Child Support offices throughout the state, online at dss.sd.gov/childsupport/, or by calling the Division of Child Support at 605.773.3641.

A petitioner must provide the complete address of other parent. Please note that if a protection order exists, your address may still be released to the non-petitioning party during modification proceedings.

The completed, notarized petition, along with a financial statement, verification of income, Child Support Order Filing Data form UJS/DSS 089, copy of the most recent South Dakota court order or decree establishing child support, and other necessary attachments must be filed with the:

Department of Social ServicesDivision of Child Support

Modification Section700 Governors Drive

Pierre, SD 57501-2291

2. Complete petition filed with Clerk of Courts

When the petition and attachments are received by the Department of Social Services, the forms are reviewed for completeness and forwarded to the Clerk of Courts in the county where the support order was entered.

3. $50 filing fee

A $50 filing fee is required to be paid to the Clerk of Courts by the petitioning party prior to the Circuit Court Judge appointing a referee. However, the petitioning party or moving party is not subject to the $50 filing fee if he/she is a recipient of assistance benefits pursuant to Title 28 (i.e. Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF), Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), Medicaid, Child Care Assistance, Energy Assistance, etc). The petitioner may also file a motion requesting the court to waive the filing fee by completing and attaching the Filing Fee Waiver Request form which is included with the petition. If the petitioning party or moving party is not a recipient of Title 28 benefits, as indicated above, or if the Filing Fee Waiver Request is not included with the petition, the petitioner should attach a $50 check or money order payable to the Clerk of Courts to the petition. DO NOT attach cash.

If the court denies the filing fee waiver request, the petitioner will be required to pay the $50 filing fee. If the petitioner does not pay the $50 filing fee within 10 days to the Clerk of Courts, the petition will be returned to the petitioning party and the modification action will not be referred to the referee.

4. Referee conducts modification hearing

The court appointed referee will send a notice of the modification hearing to both parties by regular mail, and request the respondent to submit financial and other information to be considered in establishing the child support obligation. The notice will advise the parties of the time and place of the hearing. This usually occurs within 30 days from the date the petition is filed. This time frame may vary depending on the workload of the referee and the location of the hearing. The hearing may be held in the county of the parent responding to the petition or in the county where the referee is located. The petitioner must appear at the hearing in person or by telephone or the referee may dismiss the modification request.

3

The referee or the court may assess costs under certain circumstances. The referee will designate the location of the hearing, typically a private office or local courthouse. Referees may hold hearings by telephone if either party lives a long distance from the hearing site. Distant parties who wish to take part by telephone must make arrangements with the referee in advance of the hearing.

At the hearing, the referee will obtain information and testimony from the parents regarding their financial resources and circumstances in order to determine the child support obligation as provided under the child support guidelines and laws. The parents should present any issues and evidence they want the referee to consider in setting the support order, i.e. deviations or additional factors that they want considered in establishing the obligation.

It is not necessary for either party to obtain legal counsel for a modification hearing. However, they may do so if they desire, at their own expense. Persons not licensed as attorneys by the SD Bar Association may not represent the parties at a modification hearing.

Once a petition is filed with the Clerk of Courts, the parties may not enter into a voluntary agreement for payment of child support without the referee’s written approval.

5. Referee submits a report to the court

After the modification hearing, the referee will prepare and file a report recommending the amount of the monthly child support obligation with the Circuit Court. Both parties are sent a copy of the referee’s report usually within 60 days from the date of hearing.

In determining the support obligation, the combined monthly net incomes of both parents and number of children shall be used in determining the obligation and divided proportionately between the parties based on their respective net incomes. The amount of childsupport to be paid by the noncustodial parent is determined by finding the category on the child support payment schedule that is closest to the combined monthly net incomes for both parents and apportioning that amount between the parents on the basis of their respective net incomes. (The schedule is located in the back of this book.)

Page 6: Modification of Child Support Orders - dss.sd.govdss.sd.gov/formsandpubs/docs/CS/DCSModificationHdbk.pdf · Steps to Modify a Child Support Order 1. Filing a petition to change a

If the obligation using only the noncustodial parent’s monthly net income is within the bolded areas of the schedule, that amount shall be compared to the noncustodial parent’s proportionate share using both parents’ monthly net incomes. The lesser amount establishes the noncustodial parent’s child support order.

The referee may also consider deviations provided by the parents and additional issues raised by either party such as child care costs, health insurance coverage, abatements for visitation or shared parenting, and travel costs for visitation.

Child support referees are under the authority of the Unified Judicial System (UJS). If you have issues or concerns related to the actions of a referee, you must contact the UJS at 605.773.3474, not the Division of Child Support.

6. Filing objections to the referee’s report

Within 10 days from the date of service (mailing) of the referee’s report, either party may file objections contesting the recommended child support amount. Objections must be in writing and filed with the Clerk of Court in the county that issued the order being modified. A transcript of the referee’s hearing is generally required. If a transcript is desired, it must be ordered from the referee within 10 days of the day the referee mails the report. The Circuit Court may require a transcript of the referee hearing to be filed with the written objections.

If objections are filed within 10 days by one of the parties, the other party shall have an additional five days from the date of service of the objections to file additional objections with the court. The Circuit Court then schedules a hearing to consider the objections to the referee’s report. This hearing is based solely on the record established at the referee’s hearing. That is, the Court may not consider any new evidence or information, only the issues and evidence presented at the referee’s modification hearing. After the court hearing on the objections, the Circuit Court may adopt, modify, or reject and remand the referee’s report with instructions to the referee for further hearing.

7. Court enters the modification order

If neither party files objections to the referee’s report and recommended order within 10 days of the referee’s report, the Circuit Court will enter the order. If objections are filed, the court will enter an order after the court hearing on the objections. A copy of the order will be sent to both parties by certified mail. A party who disagrees with the court order may appeal the decision to the South Dakota Supreme Court within 30 days.

8. Circuit Court Order

If no objections are filed within 10 days, the Circuit Court may enter its order.

If the Circuit Court modifies the referee’s recommended order without a court hearing, either party may file a written objection with the Circuit Court to that modification within 10 days of service of the order.

Central Payment Center

The Department of Social Services is the central payment center for the state and handles all disbursements. (SDCL 25-7A-3.2) Once the modified order is filed with the Clerk of Courts, all future child support payments shall be made payable to the Division of Child Support and mailed to:

South Dakota Department of Social ServicesChild Support Payment Center700 Governors Drive, Ste. 84

Pierre, SD 57501

Modification of Orders from Other StatesUnder the provisions of the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act, an order for child support issued in another state may be registered in South Dakota for modification if certain conditions are met as specified by South Dakota law. (SDCL 25-9C-611 or 25-9C-613). For further information about modification of out-of-state child support orders, contact your attorney or the Division of Child Support.

Provisions of the Child Support Guideline LawsIncome of Both Parents Considered

The combined monthly net incomes of both parents is generally used in determining the obligation and divided proportionately between the parents based on their respective net incomes. The noncustodial parent’s proportionate share establishes the amount of the child support order. If the obligation using only the noncustodial parent’s monthly net income is an obligation within the bolded areas of the guidelines, that amount shall be compared to the noncustodial parent’s proportionate share using both parents’ monthly net incomes. The lesser amount establishes the noncustodial parent’s child support order. The net income is determined by the gross income of each parent minus allowable deductions. 7

Page 10: Modification of Child Support Orders - dss.sd.govdss.sd.gov/formsandpubs/docs/CS/DCSModificationHdbk.pdf · Steps to Modify a Child Support Order 1. Filing a petition to change a

If either parent is a recipient of Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) or is unemployed or incarcerated, that parent’s income is figured at minimum wage. If either parent is disabled, that parent’s actual income is used. (SDCL 25-7-6.4). Additionally, the referee and/or court may consider assets when income of the parents is insufficient to meet the child’s needs (SDCL 25-7-6.5), and may disallow depreciation and other expenses allowed for federal income tax purposes in computing a parent’s net income for purposes of calculating child support obligations. (SDCL 25-7-6.6).

Monthly gross income includes income received from any of the following (SDCL 25-7-6.3):

aCompensation paid to an employee for personal services, whether salary, wages, commissions, bonuses or otherwise designated.

aSelf-employment income including gain, profit or loss from a business, farm or profession.

aPeriodic payments from pensions or retirement programs, including Social Security or veteran’s benefits, disability payments or insurance contracts.

aInterest, dividends, rentals, royalties, or other gain derived from investment of capital assets.

aGain or loss from the sale, trade or conversion of capital assets.

aUnemployment insurance benefits.

aWorker’s compensation benefits.

aBenefits in lieu of compensation including military pay allowances.

Overtime wages, commissions and bonuses may be excluded if the compensation is not a regular and recurring source of income for the parent. Income derived from seasonal employment shall be annualized to determine a monthly average income.

If a parent has annual primary employment earnings that equal or exceed the current state’s minimum 8

Page 11: Modification of Child Support Orders - dss.sd.govdss.sd.gov/formsandpubs/docs/CS/DCSModificationHdbk.pdf · Steps to Modify a Child Support Order 1. Filing a petition to change a

wage multiplied by 1,820 hours, there is a rebuttable presumption that a parent’s second job income is not to be considered in establishing a child support obligation. (SDCL 25-7-6.22).

If a parent in a modification proceeding fails to furnish income or other financial information, the parent shall be in default, and that parent’s income for purposes of determining child support shall be computed at a rate not less than the most recent annual pay standard as reported by the Department of Labor and Regulation, unless good cause is shown to set support at a lower amount (SDCL 25-7-6.26).

The following are profits or losses shown on federal income tax schedules as gross income (SDCL 25-7-6.6):

Gross income from a business, profession, farming, rentals, royalties, estates, trusts or other sources, are the net profits or gain, or net losses shown on any or all schedules filed as part of the parents’ federal income tax returns or as part of any federal income tax returns for any business with which he is associated, except that the court may allow or disallow deductions for federal income taxation purposes which do not require the expenditure of cash, including, but not limited to, depreciation or depletion allowances, and may further consider the extent to which household expenses, automobile expenses, and related items are deductible or partially deductible for income tax purposes. In the event a court disallows depreciation, it may consider necessary capital expenditures which enhance the parent’s current income for child support purposes. (SDCL 25-7-6.6)

The following deductions from monthly gross income are allowed (SDCL 25-7-6.7):

aIncome taxes payable based on the applicable tax rate for a single taxpayer with one withholding allowance and a monthly payroll period rather than the actual tax rate.

aSocial Security and Medicare taxes based on the applicable tax rate for an employee or a self-employed taxpayer.

a Contributions to an IRS qualified retirement plan not exceeding 10 percent of gross income.

a Actual business expenses of an employee, incurred for the benefit of his or her employer, that are not reimbursed.

a Payments made on other support and maintenance orders.

Determining the Basic Child Support Obligation from the Schedule

After the monthly gross incomes and allowable deductions of each parent are determined, each party’s net income is calculated by deducting the allowable deductions from their gross income. The net incomes of each party are then added together to arrive at the combined monthly net income for child support purposes. The combined child support obligation is then determined by the amount listed in the guidelines for the combined monthly net income and the number of children.

EXAMPLE:If the net income of the custodial parent is $1,120 and the net income of the noncustodial parent is $1,230, the combined net income is $2,350. The combined child support obligation at the $2,350 net income level for two children is $846 per month as found in the guidelines.

The $846 combined child support obligation from the schedule is then divided proportionately between the parents based on their respective incomes.

In the above example, the noncustodial parent’s proportionate share of the combined child support obligation is $448 per month for two children. (1,230/2,350 = 53% x $846 =$448).

Because the obligation amount using only the non-custodial parent’s net income falls within the bolded areas of the guidelines, that amount must be compared 10

Page 13: Modification of Child Support Orders - dss.sd.govdss.sd.gov/formsandpubs/docs/CS/DCSModificationHdbk.pdf · Steps to Modify a Child Support Order 1. Filing a petition to change a

to the $448 obligation amount as computed above. The noncustodial parent’s basic support obligation using only his or her net income of $1,230 is $379 for two children. Since the obligation using only the non-custodial parent’s net income is less than the $448 obligation using both parent’s incomes, the basic child support obligation would be $379 (SDCL 25-7-6.2).

Deviations May Be Made

Deviations from the schedule may be considered, if raised by either parent, and based upon one or more of the following factors (SDCL 25-7-6.10):

aThe income of a subsequent spouse or contribution of a third party to the income or expenses of that parent, but only if the application of the schedule works a financial hardship on either parent.

aAny financial condition of either parent that would make application of the schedule inequitable. If the total amount of the child support obligation, including any adjustments for health insurance and child care costs, exceeds 50 percent of the noncustodial parent’s monthly net income, it shall be presumed that the amount of the obligation imposes a financial hardship on the noncustodial parent. This presumption may be rebutted based upon other factors set forth in SDCL 25-7.

aAny necessary education or health care special needs of the child.

aThe effect of agreements between the parents regarding extra forms of support for the direct benefit of the child.

aThe obligation of either parent to provide for subsequent natural children, adopted children or stepchildren. However, an existing support order may not be modified solely for this reason.

aThe voluntary and unreasonable act by either parent which causes that parent to be unemployed or underemployed, unless the reduction of income is due to incarceration.

Other Factors that May Be Considered

Shared Parenting Time (Visitation) Abatement and Shared Parenting Plan Cross Credit

Abatement (SDCL 25-7-6.14): If the child resides with the obligor ten or more nights in a month pursuant to a custody order, the court may, if deemed appropriate, grant an abatement of not less than 38 percent nor more than 66 percent of the basic child support obligation for the nights the child resides with the obligor. The order granting the abatement shall specify the number of nights for which the abatement is allowed and the amount of the abatement. In deciding whether an abatement is appropriate, the court shall consider whether it would have a substantial negative effect on the child’s standard of living. The court shall allow the abatement to the obligor in the month in which the parenting time is ordered or apportion the abatement over a period of 12 months. It shall be presumed that the parenting time is exercised. If the parenting time exercised substantially deviates from the parenting time ordered, either party may petition the court for modification of the support order without showing any other change in circumstances.

Shared Parenting Plan Cross Credit (SDCL 25-7-6.27): If the parents have agreed in writing to a detailed shared parenting plan which provides that the child will reside no less than 180 nights per calendar year in each parent’s home, and that the parents will share the duties and responsibilities of parenting the child and the expenses of the child in proportion to their incomes, and the shared parenting plan has been incorporated in the custody order, the court may, if deemed appropriate under the circumstances, grant a cross credit on the amount of the child support obligation based on the number of nights the child resides with each parent. The shared parenting child support cross credit shall be calculated as follows:

1. Multiply the parents’ combined child support obligation under the schedule by 1.5 to establish their combined shared parenting child support obligation; 2. Multiply the combined shared parenting child

12

Page 15: Modification of Child Support Orders - dss.sd.govdss.sd.gov/formsandpubs/docs/CS/DCSModificationHdbk.pdf · Steps to Modify a Child Support Order 1. Filing a petition to change a

support obligation by each parent’s percentage share of their combined net incomes to establish each parent’s shared parenting child support obligation;3. Multiply each parent’s shared parenting child support obligation by the percentage of nights the child resides with each parent based on a 365-day calendar year to establish each parent’s prorated shared parenting child support obligation;4. Offset the parents’ prorated shared parenting child support obligations;5. The parent with the larger prorated shared parenting child support obligation shall pay the difference between these amounts.

In deciding whether a shared parenting child support cross credit is appropriate, the court shall consider whether it would have a substantial negative effect on the child’s standard of living. It shall be presumed that the parenting time is exercised. If the parenting time exercised substantially deviates from the parenting time ordered, either party may petition the court for a modification of the support order without showing any other change in circumstances.

Definition of Night for Purposes of Abatement or Cross Credit (SDCL 25-7-6.28): For the purposes of the shared parenting time abatement and the shared parenting plan cross credit, a child resides with a parent for a night if the child sleeps (1) at the residence of that parent at night, whether or not the parent is present or (2) in the company of the parent, when the child does not sleep at a parent’s residence. If, in a calendar year, due to a parent’s nighttime work schedule, a child resides with a parent for days, but not nights, the Court may condition the abatement on the required days rather than nights. In those instances, on a school day, the child is treated as residing at the primary residence registered with the school.

Child Care Expenses

The court may enter an order allocating the reasonable child care expenses for the child(ren), which are due to employment, job search 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 is available as a benefit to the custodial parent. If so, it shall be calculated at 25 percent of the eligible expense. (SDCL 25-7-6.18).

13

Page 16: Modification of Child Support Orders - dss.sd.govdss.sd.gov/formsandpubs/docs/CS/DCSModificationHdbk.pdf · Steps to Modify a Child Support Order 1. Filing a petition to change a

A party seeking child care expenses must submit verification of expenses incurred for the child(ren).

Travel Costs

If travel costs are substantial due to the distance between the parents, the court may order the allocation of such costs, taking into consideration the circumstances of the respective parties as well as hich parent moved and the reason for the move(SDCL 25-7-6.15). A party seeking allocation of travel costs must submit verification of travel costs, if available.

Medical Insurance

The court shall enter an order addressing how the child’s health needs will be met by medical support to be provided by one or both parents. The medical support order shall include a provision for medical insurance if the insurance is accessible for the child and available to a parent at a reasonable cost. Medical insurance is considered accessible if a medical insurance benefit plan is available and provides coverage for the child residing within the geographic area covered by the insurance policy. Medical insurance is considered reasonable in cost if the cost attributable to the child is equal to or less than eight percent of the parent’s net income as determined under SDCL 25-7, after proportionate medical support credit is applied and the amount shall be specified in the order for support.

The cost of insurance attributable to the child is the cost of adding the child to existing coverage, the difference between self-only coverage and family coverage, or the cost of private medical insurance for the child. The cost attributable to the child under family coverage is the difference between self-only coverage and family coverage divided by the number of individuals, excluding the parent, enrolled in the family coverage. The cost so computed shall be apportioned between the parents on the basis of income. If one parent pays the entire amount, that parent shall either be reimbursed by the other parent for that parent’s portion of the payment, or shall receive a credit against his or her support obligation, whichever is appropriate.

Any additional, reasonable health care costs, including medical, optometric, dental or orthodontic or 14

Page 17: Modification of Child Support Orders - dss.sd.govdss.sd.gov/formsandpubs/docs/CS/DCSModificationHdbk.pdf · Steps to Modify a Child Support Order 1. Filing a petition to change a

counseling costs for each minor child which exceed $250 in any year and are not covered by insurance, shall be apportioned between the parents in proportion to the support obligation of each parent. The parent that has primary physical custody of the child is responsible for the first $250 of health care costs each calendar year (SDCL 25-7-6.16). A party seeking allocation of health insurance costs must submit verification of health insurance coverage for the child. Medicaid is not considered satisfactory health insurance.

Medical Expenses Not Covered by Insurance

A parent, guardian or other custodian may obtain a standardized form from the Clerk of Court, referee or Division of Child Support to request reimbursement of any medical or health care costs from the responsible parent. If the responsible parent does not reimburse the other parent, a small claims action may be initiated by the parent, guardian or other custodian to obtain a judgment against the responsible parent to collect unreimbursed medical or health care costs from the responsible parent. (SDCL 25-7-6.25)

Forms to initiate a small claims action may be obtained from the Clerk of Court. You must provide a written statement, signed and notarized, describing how the loss or damage occurred. This statement, along with supporting documents (receipts, cost estimates, etc) and the address of the parties, must be filed with the Clerk of Court. The fee for starting the action, and the postage and service cost required, may be added to the damages claimed against the defendant. The Division of Child Support does not initiate the small claims action. For more information on initiating a small claims action, see the South Dakota Unified Judicial System’s website at: www.sdjudicial.com

Immediate Income Withholding

South Dakota law requires immediate withholding of income to be considered as part of any child support order. (SDCL 25-7A-23). However, the actual withholding process does not begin automatically.

To make sure a withholding order becomes effective, you should contact your attorney or the Child Support office nearest you.

Support Obligation Schedule SDCL 25-7-6.2 The child support obligation shall be established in accordance with the following schedule subject to such revisions or deviations permitted by SDCL 25-7. Except as provided in this chapter, the combined monthly net incomes of both parents shall be used in determining the obligation which shall be divided proportionately between the parents based upon their respective net incomes. The noncustodial parent’s proportionate share establishes the amount of the child support order.

If the obligation using only the noncustodial parent’s monthly net income is an obligation within the shaded areas of the schedule, that amount shall be compared to the noncustodial parent’s proportionate share using both parents’ monthly net incomes. The lesser amount establishes the noncustodial parent’s child support order. The share of the custodial parent is presumed to be spent directly for the child’s benefit.
