South Carolina is considered a no-fault divorce state. This means that either spouse can cite irreconcilable differences as their reasoning for the divorce. You and your spouse will be required to separate for one year before filing for a divorce. However, if there is evidence of adultery, physical cruelty or habitual use of drugs or alcohol, you may be eligible for a divorce in as little as 90 days.

We can help you navigate this process, regardless of your situation. We will give you the information you need to make educated decisions about your future.
