Custody and support cases in South Dakota focus on the best interests of the child—not just what parents want. The court looks at factors like parenting ability, home stability, communication, and history of involvement. Whether you’re seeking joint custody, sole custody, or just need a solid parenting plan, we help present your case clearly and effectively.
Support orders are calculated based on income, custody time, and the child’s needs.

If circumstances change—like a new job, move, or remarriage—we can help you pursue a modification or defend against one.
