About this form
This packet opens an uncontested no-fault divorce in South Dakota, where both spouses agree on the terms.
South Dakota cases with minor children use the official UJS with-children set behind a PublicLegal cover: summons with the UJS-302 Parenting Time Guidelines attached, complaint, service and answer forms, financial statement, child-support filing data, and the parenting-course statement (SDCL 25-4A-32). The settlement product is the court's own UJS-325 with the required DSS calculator printout; the decree product is the official proposed Judgment and Decree (UJS-326B stipulated / UJS-322B default), which already prints the SDCL 25-4A-5 sanctions text. Custody and support terms always remain under the court's best-interests review. The blank official forms are free at ujs.sd.gov. The FAQ below covers the details.
See page 1 of the actual blank form and review a plain-language outline. The complete formatted documents are delivered after checkout.
COMPLAINT FOR DIVORCE — WITH MINOR CHILDREN (UJS-312, Rev. 02/2026). The official Unified Judicial System form that opens an uncontested divorce in the South Dakota Circuit Court — for spouses with minor children of the marriage.
Caption: State of South Dakota, County of ____, In Circuit Court, ____ Judicial Circuit — Plaintiff v. Defendant, with the children of the marriage recorded.
Children: the children's names and dates of birth, the custody and parenting-time request, and guideline child support under the DSS calculator.
The full packet also includes both UJS-307B checklists, the summons with the UJS-302 Parenting Time Guidelines served attached, admission-of-service and UJS-318 answer forms, the financial statement, child-support filing data, the parenting-course statement, the fee waiver, the UJS-319B statement, the UJS-323 default packet, and both proposed Judgment and Decree forms — official UJS forms with a PublicLegal cover.

The 1 packet documents listed on this page are included, delivered in PDF format. The packet centers on the Complaint for Divorce that opens an uncontested no-fault case, plus the supporting filing documents and reference materials shown above.
The same resident-at-commencement rule applies (SDCL 25-4-30), and South Dakota must have custody jurisdiction over the children under the UCCJEA (SDCL ch. 26-5B) — usually as their home state. File in the county where either spouse lives (SDCL 25-4-30.1).
This packet uses the no-fault ground of irreconcilable differences (SDCL 25-4-2(7); 25-4-17.1). Irreconcilable differences requires the consent of BOTH spouses — unless the defendant never makes a general appearance in the case, in which case the plaintiff finishes by default (SDCL 25-4-17.2). If your spouse files an Answer and will not agree, this packet no longer fits your case.
The same 60-day waiting period applies (SDCL 25-4-34). Cases with minor children add the UJS-302 Parenting Time Guidelines served attached to the back of the summons, the mandatory court-approved parenting course within 60 days of commencement (SDCL 25-4A-32; statement/waiver UJS-364), child support calculated on the DSS online calculator with the printout attached to the agreement, and the UJS-089 filing-data form. Both proposed decrees already print the SDCL 25-4A-5 custody-sanctions text. You are not divorced until the judge signs and enters the Judgment and Decree of Divorce.
No. This packet is the agreed (or unopposed) path. If your spouse files an Answer and will not consent to irreconcilable differences, the case is contested and outside this packet — consult a South Dakota attorney about the fault grounds (SDCL 25-4-2(1)-(6)) and the contested track.
No. ILRG provides self-help legal forms and information, not legal advice. Consult a South Dakota attorney if you have significant property, retirement accounts, business interests, safety concerns, or any disagreement about terms.
