separation3

Separation Attorneys Hilton Head

For some spouses, divorce may seem like a drastic step that should not be entered into lightly. For others, they have realized that the marriage is over, but they do not meet either the fault-based requirements (adultery, drug/alcohol abuse, abandonment, or physical abuse) to file for a divorce under South Carolina law. For folks in this situation, separate support and maintenance is an option. Similar to “legal separation” in other states, a separate support and maintenance action allows a spouse to seek relief from the Court as to custody and visitation, child support, spousal support, equitable division of property, and have the Family Court put various restraining orders in place such as prohibiting parties from incurring marital debt or disposing of marital property. If you are contemplating separating from your spouse, give us a call to set up a consultation. We will discuss various options that you may have and work together to come up with a plan that is best suited to help you reach your goals.
