INSTRUCTIONS FOR CHILD SUPPORT ORDER FILING DATA FORM

(UJS/DSS FORM 089)

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY. COMPLETE

ALL SECTIONS OF THIS FORM AND FILE THE FORM WITH THE CLERK OF

COURT’S OFFICE IN WHICH YOUR CASE IS BEING HANDLED.

As a result of federal welfare reform, effective October 1, 1998, new procedures apply to

child support cases in South Dakota. The most significant changes are:

The Department of Social Services will be the central case registry for the state.

The Department of Social Services will be the central payment center for the state and

will handle all disbursements.

Your failure to update certain information on file with the Department of Social Services

and the court, by using this Child Support Order Filing Data Form, can have serious legal

consequences regarding your legal right to be notified of enforcement actions regarding your

child support obligations.

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Upon entry of any new or modified court order for child support, the parties in the case

must personally, or through their attorney, file a completed Child Support Order Filing

Data Form with the clerk of court.

2. Whenever any information on the form changes (for example, you change jobs or place

of residence), you must complete a new form and file it with the clerk of court’s office.

PLEASE NOTE: You are responsible for ensuring that all information is accurate and

current. If you fail to keep the information current, you may be served with future notices

and orders of enforcement actions regarding your child support obligation at the last

residential or employer address provided. Failure to appear in court when so notified may

result in a default judgment being entered against you.

3. If a protection order for domestic violence against a spouse or abuse of a child is in effect

(whether temporary or permanent), check the appropriate box on the form and attach a

copy of the order to the form.

4. Keep the pink copy for your records and file the white and yellow copies with clerk of

court.

THIS FORM WILL BE TREATED AS A CONFIDENTIAL DOCUMENT BY THE COURT (This means

the information will not be released to the public as defined by SDCL 15-15A-2(1)-(3)).
