About this form
This packet opens an uncontested no-fault divorce in South Dakota, where both spouses agree on the terms.
South Dakota requires only that the plaintiff be a resident (or stationed service member) when the case starts (SDCL 25-4-30), with a strict 60-day wait after completed service (SDCL 25-4-34). The kit is the official Unified Judicial System form set behind a PublicLegal cover and step-by-step instructions; the settlement product is the court's own UJS-324/325 Stipulation and Settlement Agreement; the decree product is the official proposed Judgment and Decree the judge signs (UJS-326A/B stipulated, UJS-322A/B default). The blank official forms are free at ujs.sd.gov — you are paying for current-edition packaging and ILRG product support. 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 — WITHOUT MINOR CHILDREN (UJS-310, Rev. 05/2026). The official Unified Judicial System form that opens an uncontested divorce in the South Dakota Circuit Court — for spouses with no minor children together.
Caption: State of South Dakota, County of ____, In Circuit Court, ____ Judicial Circuit — Plaintiff v. Defendant, with the case number.
Residency: the plaintiff's resident-at-commencement statement (SDCL 25-4-30), the marriage date and place, and the irreconcilable-differences ground (SDCL 25-4-2(7)).
The full packet also includes both UJS-307A checklists, the summons (UJS-309), admission-of-service and answer forms, the financial statement and fee waiver, the UJS-319A Statement for Jurisdiction, the UJS-321 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 plaintiff must be a South Dakota resident — or a member of the armed services stationed in this state — at the time the action is commenced; there is no minimum length of residency, and the plaintiff need not maintain that residence afterward to be entitled to the decree (SDCL 25-4-30). File in the county where either spouse lives (SDCL 25-4-30.1). Confirm local filing practice with the clerk.
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.
South Dakota has a strict 60-day waiting period: no decree can be granted until at least 60 days after completed service of the summons and complaint (SDCL 25-4-34) — and on the default track the defendant's 30-day answer window must also have run (UJS-321). Stipulated cases usually finish on the papers under SDCL 25-4-17.3, but the judge may still require an appearance. You are not divorced until the judge signs and enters the Judgment and Decree of Divorce; afterward file the clerk-supplied Notice of Entry and Statement of Mailing.
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.
