South Carolina believes that both parents are responsible for their children’s financial support. Generally, the non-custodial parent pays support to the parent with whom the children physically live. Whichever parent we are representing, we gather all relevant financial information and present it to the court for a determination of the amount that should be paid. Child support may not be a cut-and-dried kind of issue. Sometimes a parent will intentionally depress his or her income to avoid paying child support. We will work to gather all relevant information to be able to show the court what a parent’s actual income should be, and we can ask the court to impute income to a parent for purposes of calculating child support.
The well-being of the child is our top priority in child custody and support cases. At Sarji Law Firm, we advocate for the comfort and security of children, ensuring their needs are met.

There is no legal separation in South Carolina. If you have been separated for one year without cohabitation, it is grounds for divorce and you are not required to state any fault on the part of the other party. While it is not required that you must file with the court to document the year of separation, often we must file an action for separate support and maintenance, to put some rules in place for you and your spouse to live by during your first year of separation. These rules will give you a framework for who has possession of the marital residence and/or its contents; who has primary custody of the children; payment of spousal support; servicing of marital debt; and other important issues that must be dealt with even before your divorce can be finalized.
There are multiple statutes that cover prenuptial agreements, courts will enforce them if they are:

We stay current on any changes to the laws and always work for the betterment of our clients.

Contempt is the willful violation of a court order. When one party fails to comply with an order of the family court, the other party can file a Rule to Show Cause, asking the court to find the order-breaking party in contempt of court. If the court makes such a finding, it has the discretion to impose a penalty of 1) up to one year in jail; 2) a fine of up to $1,500; 3) 300 hours of community service; or a combination of all three. You may also be awarded other relief such as make-up time with your children, and your attorney’s fees and costs.
Grandparents do not have an absolute right to visit their grandchildren, but if certain criteria are met, a court may order them to be allowed to visit. In some circumstances, grandparents may have the right to obtain custody of their grandchildren.
In certain circumstances, it is appropriate to terminate a parent’s parental rights. In South Caolina, these circumstances include the parent’s willful failure to support or visit their child for six months or more, or a mental condition or substance abuse problem that is unlikely to be resolved within a year and which makes it contrary to the child’s wishes to continue to be subject to the parent-child relationship. You may also be able to terminate a biological parent’s rights for failure to support your child for six months or longer. If you find yourself in a situation where termination of parental rights is necessary, or if you are defending yourself against someone trying to terminate your parental rights, Sarji Law Firm can help.
In other circumstances, such as where an adoption is desired, it is first necessary to terminate the biological parent’s rights. We can assist you with the process of TPR and adoption in these cases as well.
