WHEREAS, a Comprehensive Safety Action Plan is required to identify high-injury networks, analyze crash data, elevate community input, and prioritize evidence-based strategies to reduce and ultimately eliminate fatal and serious traffic crashes; and
WHEREAS, a countywide Comprehensive Safety Action Plan has enabled Lincoln County to establish clear safety goals, performance measures, equity considerations, and implementation strategies that reflect local needs across incorporated and unincorporated areas; and

YOU ARE HEREBY SUMMONED and required to answer the Verified Complaint for Sole Legal and Physical Custody and Petition for Name Change of Minor Child, a copy of which is herewith served upon you and is filed with the above-named Court, and to serve a copy of your Answer on Plaintifrs attorney, Casey Eekhoff, at the address below, within thirty (30) days from the date of the service of this Summons upon you, exclusive of the day of such service.
IF YOU FAIL TO DO SO, judgment by default may be rendered against you for the relief demanded in the Complaint sixty (60} days from the day of service of this Summons and Verified Complaint for Sole Legal and Physical Custody, and Name Change of Minor Child, not counting the day of service.
NOTICE
South Dakota law provides that upon the filing and service of the Summons and Verified Complaint for Sole Legal and Physical Custody and Petition for Name Change of Minor Child on the Defendant, an Initial Custody Order shall be in effect against both parties until the final decree is entered, the Verified Complaint for Sole Legal and Physical Custody and Petition for Name Change of Minor Child, is dismissed or until further order of the court. Either party may apply to the Court for further temporary orders or modification or revocation of this Order.
INITIAL CUSTODY ORDER
Pursuant to SDCL § 25-4A-11 et seq., upon service of this Summons the attached South Dakota Parenting Guidelines (Form UJS-302) become an order of this court. Any minor children shall remain in the custody of the parent who has been the primary caregiver for the minor children for the majority of time in the twelve months preceding the filing of the Summons and Verified Complaint for Sole Legal and Physical Custody and Petition for Name Change of Minor Child, which is the Plaintiff in this case unless the parties otherwise agree. The guidelines are subject to any provision established by a South Dakota state court in the following: a temporary or permanent protection order, an order arising out of an abuse or neglect proceeding, a bond condition arising out of a criminal case, and an order in any other proceeding affecting child custody or support.
The attached guidelines apply and shall continue in effect unless the parties agree or the court otheiwise orders. Imposition of these standard guidelines creates no presumption as to who may be awarded custody at any hearing. An agreement by the parties for visitation other than the standard guidelines must be in writing, signed by both parties, and filed with the court. The agreed plan shall be approved by court order and replace the standard guidelines, or any plan previously filed.
If either party object to the implementation of the South Dakota Parenting Guidelines (Form UJS-302) as the initial custody arrangement, the objecting party shall file an objection with the Clerk of Court. The court shall order a hearing which shall be held not later than 30 days after the date of objection. The court shall then issue its temporary custody and visitation order after considering the best interest of the child(ren) consistent with the provisions of SDCL § 25-4-45.
