Re: Out Of State Divorse

There are some things I need to know before replying. How long have you lived in SC? Where did you last live together? ARe yo satisfied with the child suport amounts presently being paid? Is there any property, real or personal which you wish the court to divide wetween you? Do you simply wan t a divorce and and no other relief? Where do you live?
