HB1158 removes "irreconcilable differences" as a legal reason someone can use to get a divorce in South Dakota. This means couples will no longer be able to file for divorce based solely on the breakdown of their marriage without assigning fault to either spouse. The bill makes South Dakota's divorce law more restrictive by eliminating this no-fault divorce option.
