South Dakota Supreme Court, 2020

The court affirmed the order requiring partition and sale of the property because the corrective deed changed the parties' interests without expressly declaring a joint tenancy, thereby creating a tenancy in common.

The South Dakota Supreme Court affirmed the circuit court’s decision, holding that the original alimony award did not terminate when David reached social security eligibility and that the modification court did not abuse its discretion in reducing the monthly alimony and ordering accrued payments.
