South Carolina Family Law

Divorce

Grounds for divorce may include the breakdown of marriage, adultery, incompatibility, living apart by mutual consent for one year or two years living separate and apart. Issues to be decided by the court include distribution of property, alimony, child support, and child custody and visitation rights.

Modification

Under certain circumstances, a prior order or judgment can be changed through modification. Such modifications may include a change in visitation, primary residence, child support, spousal support, and parental rights and responsibilities.

Child Support

Both parents are liable for the child support of minor children. The court may award child support from either parent, based upon the parents' gross incomes, work related day care costs, health insurance premiums paid for the benefit of the children and other factors.
