This bill introduces a new provision to South Dakota law regarding noncustodial visitation rights for fathers of minors born out of wedlock. Specifically, it states that once paternity is established in accordance with existing law (25-8-50), the father is entitled to a minimum amount of noncustodial parenting time as outlined in chapter 25-4A. This entitlement is contingent upon the condition that such visitation does not cause serious detriment to the minor.

The bill aims to ensure that fathers have the opportunity to maintain a relationship with their children, even when they do not have custody. By formalizing these visitation rights, the legislation seeks to promote the involvement of fathers in the lives of their children, while also prioritizing the well-being of the minors involved.
