: Sam Hasler's Indiana Divorce & Family Law BlogChild Custody in South Dakota and Some Thoughts on Indiana
"Under current South Dakota law, temporary custody of children is apparently awarded to the parent who has been the primary caregiver for the thirty days prior to filing. Unfortunately, a snapshot of such a short slice of life may not accurately reflect which parent has been the primary caregiver over the longer haul."I want to write just another example of how family law differs between the states, but I have to also say that I do not see how 30 days can say anythng about the best interests of a child. The proposal for extending this to one year strikes me as a good indicator. If the parties separate for a year without the non-custodial then wanting custody, I would want the non-custodial parent ot have a very good reason. Like being stationed in Iraq or in a coma or too broke to afford much more than the rent.
