South Dakota is removing a rule that allowed judges to give child support credits when parents share parenting time roughly equally (the "cross credit" system). Instead, judges will continue using the existing abatement system, which reduces child support by 38-66% based on the number of nights a child spends with the non-custodial parent, without the additional cross credit option.
