South Dakota couples applying for a marriage license must now select which grounds for divorce and separation they agree to in advance, with unchecked grounds considered waived for any future divorce proceedings. All couples married before this law takes effect can request an amended marriage license to make these same selections, and the county register of deeds will file and keep the checklist with the marriage certificate. Couples must also receive a copy of the state's divorce laws when they apply for their license.
