You may have an issue with "jurisdiction". Does HE live in Arizona? Or have any contacts here? IF NOT, then Arizona likely cannot enforce your Decree against him. IF SO, the yes, you can and should "domesticate" your South Dakota Decree, and then enforce it here.
We can certainly help you consider and then pursue your options. This is obviously a very important matter, and you should not go in alone.
