S.D. Codified Laws § 26-7A-32
There is hereby created a lien, enforceable as provided in chapter 23A-40, upon all the property, both real and personal, of the parents, jointly or severally, of any child involved in proceedings under this chapter or chapter 26-8A, 26-8B, or 26-8C to repay funds paid by the county for a court-appointed attorney for the child's parents or by the county or the state for the child. The county, on behalf of the county or the state, shall have a claim against the parents and their estates, jointly or severally, as provided in chapter 23A-40.
However, except in the case of informal adjustment or suspended imposition of adjudication, no lien or claim against the parents of a child may be created or may arise if the child is not adjudicated to be an abused or neglected child, a child in need of supervision or a delinquent child at the completion of the adjudicatory hearing and the proceedings are terminated.
The lien and claim on the property of the parents of a child pursuant to this section may not exceed one thousand five hundred dollars plus an amount equal to any taxable court costs. This limit does not apply to any claim or lien against the parents of a child adjudicated to be an abused or neglected child.
