We believe that we serve our domestic law clients best by taking a businesslike approach, with the goal of getting what the client is entitled to under the law within a reasonable period of time. We take this approach because our experience has taught us that protracted family court battles rarely achieve a result that the client is happy with. We begin each divorce or domestic law dispute case by providing our clients with a clear and accurate picture of the likely result according to South Carolina's divorce and domestic dispute laws. Once our clients understand how the courts are likely to settle matters like custody, child support and spousal maintenance, they are able to make intelligent and well-informed decisions about whether they want to proceed in an amicable way or whether they want aggressive pursuit of a particular outcome.
We handle a wide range of domestic law matters, including:
- Divorce: We represent spouses with and without children in both uncontested and contested divorces.
- Child custody battles: If you and your spouse are fighting over who gets legal or physical custody of the children, it is absolutely critical to consult a child custody lawyer with extensive experience in South Carolina's family courts. Every small action can have a great impact on the court's custody ruling.
- Child abuse and neglect cases: Our lead attorney, Michael G. Matthews, is a former prosecutor with the Department of Social Services (DSS) and now defends parents against abuse and neglect charges. If DSS has removed your children from the home or if you are under investigation for child abuse or child neglect, contact our offices immediately for a confidential appointment.
- Step-parent adoptions: Step parent adoption allows your spouse to assume legal and financial responsibility for your children from a previous marriage. The process is generally easier than other types of adoption, but there are important legal requirements that an experienced adoption attorney can guide you through.
- Divorce decree modifications: A formal court proceeding is necessary if you want to change the provision in your divorce decree regarding child custody, child support, spousal support or visitation.
- Child support: We help clients seeking child support from a non-custodial parent or responding to a request for child support.
- Child visitation: If you are having trouble either receiving or modifying visitation rights, or with a spouse or partner that is abusing his or her visitation rights, please contact us for assistance
