For the parties and their children alike, the end of a marriage can be a trying time.

South Carolina recognizes five grounds for divorce: adultery; desertion for a period of a year; physical cruelty; habitual drunkenness or drug abuse; and living separate and apart without cohabitation for a year. Getting divorced is much more complicated than getting married. The entire process could take from six months to over a year, depending on the grounds for divorce, cooperation between the parties, the complexity of the case, and Court docket scheduling.
Ayers Family Law, LLC is committed to your best interests throughout the entire process, including the division of assets, child custody and visitation, and alimony.
