Lafond Law Firm

Divorce
Child Support
In South Carolina, parents have a legal duty to support their children. Typically the Court will set child support for the non-custodial parent based on the South Carolina Child Support Guidelines. The Guidelines are based on the gross income of each parent and take into consideration other expenses for the children (for example, daycare, medical insurance, and other children in the home). When child support is ordered, the Court can either require the parent to pay it directly to the other parent or may require it to be paid through the Clerk of Court’s Office directly or via wage withholding. A parent’s failure to timely pay child support can subject a parent to the contempt powers of the court, which include jail time, fines, and community service..
Child Custody and Visitation
Child custody issues arise in a variety of contexts. Child custody issues arise during separation, divorce, and unmarried parent situations. The most important factor the Court takes in consideration in making a child custody determination is the child’s “best interests”. Courts may consider the following factors when making that determination: the relative fitness of each parent; who is the primary caretaker of the child; how much time a parent can spend with the child; each parents education and employment; each parent’s parenting skills; conduct of each parent; and the resources available to each parent.
Adoption
Premarital Agreement
Premarital/Prenuptial Agreements. People anticipating marriage can enter into prenuptial agreements in South Carolina. Each party has to have the opportunity to have their agreement reviewed by an attorney and must receive full and complete financial disclosure from the other party prior to entering the agreement
Spousal Support
Spousal Support or Alimony may be granted by the Court in Separate Support and Maintenance or Divorce actions. The purpose of spousal support/alimony is to try and keep the supported spouse as near as is possible to the standard of living they enjoyed prior to the breakup of their marriage. There are 4 types of spousal support/alimony: permanent periodic alimony; lump sum alimony; rehabilitative alimony; and reimbursement alimony. The Court will consider many factors in determining alimony including: length of the marriage; the parties standard of living during the marriage; the supported spouse’s need for additional education or training to support himself/herself; the supporting spouse’s ability to pay alimony; and marital misconduct. Adultery by one party is an absolute bar to a spouse receiving alimony unless the other spouse has condoned or forgiven the adultery.
