Divorce Law
Grounds for divorce in South Dakota include "no-fault" grounds of irreconcilable differences. Fault grounds may include adultery, extreme cruelty, willful desertion, habitual intemperance, and conviction of a felony. The party filing for divorce must be a resident of the state (or stationed in the state while a member of the armed forces) until the divorce decree is final.South Dakota General Definitions with Grounds for Divorce - .pdf informational brochure from the South Dakota Unified Judicial System
