There is nothing as powerful as the bond that parents have with their children. However, depending on circumstances, this relationship can take many forms. At the Fender Law Firm, we know the value of strong families – our practice has been serving South Carolina for over three generations! When things like divorce, separation, or other family changes threaten the relationship you have with your children, we can help. We understand the laws surrounding parental rights and responsibilities here in Beaufort County, and will work hard to get you an arrangement that makes sense for your family.
Whether you are hoping to establish parenting rights through paternity testing, child custody agreements, adoption, or other methods, you can count on us to guide you, every step of the way. We serve those looking to terminate parental rights as well, using our legal knowledge to help people structure their families in the way they see fit. In the state of South Carolina, there are special considerations for parents who were never married, as well as same-sex couples, so it’s always a good idea to reach out to a family attorney, to understand your specific rights and responsibilities.
