What to Expect During a Contested Divorce in South Carolina
Going through a divorce is never easy, but it can be especially daunting if the divorce is contested. In South Carolina, a contested divorce is one where the spouses cannot agree on some or all of the terms of their separation, including child custody, alimony payments and division of property. If both parties cannot come to an agreement on these matters, they must go to court and let a judge decide. Here’s what you need to know about these cases and how Isaac’s & Alley LLC can help ensure that your rights are protected during the process.
What Factors Does A South Carolina Court Consider?
In any contested divorce case in South Carolina, the court will consider several factors before making its ruling. These include: • The current financial status of each spouse as well as their future earning potential • The length of the marriage • Whether either party has committed any acts of adultery or domestic abuse during the marriage • The age and health condition of each spouse • Each party’s contributions to the marriage (both financially and emotionally)
Based on these factors, the court will make decisions regarding child custody arrangements, alimony payments and division of property. It’s important for each party to present evidence that supports their claims in order for the court to make an informed decision. This can include financial records, witness statements or other evidence that demonstrates why one party should receive more than another. The goal is not necessarily for one side to “win” but rather for both sides to come away with an arrangement that is fair and equitable given their circumstances.
