The UJS-271 form serves as a critical document within the judicial system of South Dakota, designed to facilitate the enforcement of visitation rights. When one party, either the plaintiff or defendant in a case involving visitation, believes that their court-ordered visitation rights have been unjustly denied by the other party, this form provides a structured method to address the issue. It initiates a legal process by petitioning the court for an order to show cause, compelling the non-compliant party to explain their refusal to adhere to the established visitation agreement. The form meticulously records the identities of the involved minor children, details of the original visitation order, instances of denied visitation, and any relevant addresses over the past five years, ensuring a comprehensive overview for judicial review. Additionally, it inquires about other legal proceedings that may influence visitation rights, ensuring that all related factors are considered. The requirement for both a notarized signature from the petitioner and information on related legal proceedings underscores the serious and formal nature of this plea for judicial intervention. By providing a mechanism for the enforcement of visitation rights, the UJS-271 form plays a pivotal role in maintaining the terms set forth by the court, thereby upholding the legal and personal interests of the involved parties.
