Dear Mr. Barnett,

Please find enclosed the information you requested including:

Volume I: The Work of the South Dakota Coalition for Shared Parenting
Volume II: Research and Information Supporting Shared Parenting Law
Volume III: Legal and Law Issues
Volume IV: Custody Laws in Other States And Supporting Documents
Volume V: Relocation (Change of Child's Residence)
Volume VI: Parent Alienation, Domestic Violence, Child Support

Volume One gives you a clear idea of what is most important to us and the areas that we believe need to change for the benefit of our children and their parents.  The remaining Volumes provide information and support for these changes.

I will be sending supplemental information within the next two - three weeks.  This information includes our recommendations for changing the South Dakota Visitation Guidelines and any additional information I receive from our membership.

The compilation of this information has resulted in significant time and expense on my part.  Any compensation for this would be appreciated.

Please confirm that you received this information.  Feel free to call me at (605) 260-3000 or send E-mail's at your convenience.  My personal Email address is: stevem1@mchsi.com. (note correction).  Thank you.

Best regards,


Steve Mathis, President
