HB1045 revises South Dakota's child support calculation rules by setting a minimum income threshold—parents are presumed capable of earning at least 1,820 hours per year at minimum wage for support purposes—and clarifies when courts can deviate from standard child support guidelines based on financial hardship and other circumstances. The bill adds new provisions to the child support law and modifies existing rules about how income is determined and when exceptions to standard support amounts apply.
