In order for a garnishment to cease you will have to make a motion to the Court at which time you and your wife will need to appear and/or submit affidavits stating that you wish to cease collection on this debt.
You would probably be best served by hiring a local attorney to handle this for you to ensure all the appropriate paperwork is filed and submitted. However you can call the local family court and many clerks will walk you through the process. I am not sure of the SD laws but your wife may be the one who needs to make the motion, ask the clerk they will be able to clear that all up
