File for divorce in South Carolina

Charleston divorce law firms must have the experience and strong understanding of state divorce laws to ensure their clients obtain a divorce decree without undue emotional stress or delay.  To file for divorce in South Carolina, one of the parties to the divorce must be a resident of South Carolina for at least one year unless both of you are residents, and then the requirement is three months.  After filing, you allege a fault ground for the divorce and you must wait 90 days before you may obtain your final decree of divorce.

There is one no-fault ground for divorce, and there are also four fault grounds upon which to obtain a divorce in South Carolina.  The no-fault ground requires the parties to live separately and apart for one year.  The four fault grounds are adultery, alcoholism and/or drug abuse, physical abuse or reasonable apprehension of physical abuse, and willful desertion for one year.
