South Dakota Laws > Title 25 > Chapter 4 > § 25-4-45.6 - Consideration of conviction for death of other parent in custody award

In awarding custody or granting rights of visitation involving a minor, the court shall consider a conviction, excluding vehicular homicide, of a parent for the death of the other parent. A conviction for the death of the other parent creates a rebuttable presumption that awarding custody or granting visitation to the convicted parent is not in the best interests of the minor.
