Re: A child cusdoty case
In SC, it is difficult for a grandparent (or any other non-parent) to get custody of a child from its parent. In order to do so, the non-parent must prove that the parents are unfit and that it is in the child's best interest that the non-parent be granted custody. However, just because this process is difficult does not mean that it cannot be done with the right facts.
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.
