Divorce Process Serving in South Dakota
Your spouse must be formally served for a divorce to proceed. SimpleDivorce assigns a licensed process server who delivers the papers, documents each attempt with GPS and time stamps, and returns a notarized affidavit of service for the court. In South Dakota, most uncontested cases finalize in about 4 to 8 weeks after filing and service, since South Dakota has no mandatory waiting period.
