Legal Question in Family Law in South Carolina

Re: Adultery

Adultery is technically still a criminal offense in SC, though I can't imagine anyone being prosecuted for it nowadays. The consequences in a divorce case are that the at-fault spouse can get a smaller portion of the marital estate, plus he/she will probably be required to pay the other spouse's attorney's fees and private investigator's fees.

These are complex issues, and it is important that they be handled correctly. Therefore, it is important that you consult an experienced family law attorney to find out what options are available to you based on the facts of your particular case. If you need more information, you can visit my family law blog (www.SCFamilyLaw.com) or our website (www.StevensFirm.com). I wish you the best of luck.
