Re: child custody

Contrary to popular belief, there is no "magic age" in South Carolina where a child can choose where he/she wishes to live. I have written an article on this subject that discusses it more in depth, and you can read the article at the following web address: http://tinyurl.com/6b49ke

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.
