Our Family Law Practice
We represent men and women at all stages of a family law matter, from the decision to file an action through negotiated settlements, mediation and trial to post-judgment requests for modification or enforcement of existing family court orders. We handle all matters related to or arising out of divorce, including
- Child custody and visitation. We will help you establish and implement custody and visitation arrangements that are in the best interests of your children while preserving your rights as a parent. We will review any proposed custody and visitation plans to ensure that the educational, medical, religious and other special needs of your minor children are taken into consideration. We have successfully represented military personnel or their spouses in child custody actions with complex jurisdictional issues.
- Child support. We will review all proposed child support orders for compliance with South Carolina guidelines and to ensure that all relevant sources of income are properly factored into the calculation.
- Alimony or spousal support. Our attorneys will help you determine whether a grant of alimony is appropriate and, if so, the proper amount, frequency and duration of payments.
- Property settlements. We will help you equitably distribute the debts and assets of your marriage, including pension plans, retirement funds, business assets, real property and bank accounts or investments.
- Modification and enforcement actions. If your circumstances have changed since the finalization of your divorce, we can help you seek modification of a child support or child custody order. Likewise, if your ex-spouse in not in compliance with an existing court order, we can help you use the court's power to enforce the terms of the judgment.
Our lawyers represent custodial and non-custodial parents in proceedings to facilitate stepparent adoptions. In addition, if you are considering getting married, we can help you protect your assets through a prenuptial agreement. We also advise clients regarding reconciliation agreements.
