3. If I am incarcerated, are there any barriers to having my order changed?
No. However, South Dakota law prevents modifying the ordered child support amount below an obligation
computed from full time employment at minimum wage. Under SDCL 25-7-6.4, there is a “rebuttable presumption
of employment at minimum wage,” including while incarcerated. Under SDCL 25-7-6.10 (6), courts may deviate
from the guidelines schedule due to voluntary unemployment or underemployment, unless it is due to incarceration.
However, courts have the authority to order a child support amount less than the minimum guideline amount.
4. Do you provide any materials online that I can use to ask for a change to my child support
order?
Yes. There is modication guide online titled, “How do I modify my support order?” which provides modication
information. The modication guide can be found at: https://dss.sd.gov/childsupport/services/modifysupportorder.
