South Dakota Domestic Denial of Petition is a refusal by the court to grant a petition for a domestic legal action, such as divorce, legal separation, annulment, or paternity. This denial is based on the state's laws and regulations which outline the requirements that must be met in order for the petition to be granted. South Dakota Domestic Denial of Petition can be of three types: 1) the petition is denied because the petitioner has not met a legal requirement; 2) the petition is denied because the court finds that the petitioner has not made a sufficient showing of facts; or 3) the petition is denied because the court finds that the petitioner has not established a legitimate issue of fact or law. All South Dakota Domestic Denial of Petitions must be appealed in order to be overturned.
