Divorce
Child Support
In most instances the federally mandated South Carolina Child Support Guidelines will be utilized to determine an appropriate amount of support that must be paid for the benefit of the parties’ children. In rare cases those determined amounts may be adjusted. The Child Support Guidelines consider each parent's gross income, the health care insurance premiums for the children, and any child care expense. The number of overnights that each parent has with the children can also be a major factor. The uncovered medical expenses for the children will also be addressed and in most cases is divided between the parents based upon their proportional gross monthly income.
Child Custody and Visitation
Should the custody of your children be in dispute this will certainly be the most important and often the most difficult issue in your case. The best interests of your children must be considered. There are several different types of custody arrangements that the Court can order: joint custody, shared custody, split custody, or sole custody. The factors to determine which type of custody arrangement is appropriate in your case are complex and must be presented in specific detail. Expert testimony may be required to help demonstrate to the court what is right for your children. Visitation must also be addressed. Again, expert testimony may be helpful in this multifaceted arena. How much time will the children spend with one parent or the other? How will holidays and summers be shared? What happens when one parent needs or desires to re-locate? Finally, who will have the authority to make the decisions as to the health, education, and welfare of the children? All of these issues must be determined. It’s very personal and requires experience, integrity, and knowledge.
Premarital Agreement
Premarital Agreements are complex in nature and must be entered into and drafted in a particular fashion which includes full financial disclosure of both assets and debts. Each party must have separate legal representation. Extreme diligence is necessary when drafting Premarital Agreements to ensure that they are later enforceable if the worst-case scenario, divorce or separation, takes place.
Spousal Support
In many Family Court cases spousal support is one of the major concerns and may be the most important issue. Spousal support is the money that one spouse is ordered to pay for the support of the other spouse. You will sometimes hear the phrase "separate maintenance and support" and there really is no difference between alimony and separate maintenance and support except that the underlying causes of action are different. There is no true formula in South Carolina for determining alimony. The South Carolina Family Court judges are given a great amount of discretion when setting a spousal support award. Trying to predict what an alimony award will be is a difficult task.
