Re: child custody
In SC, both parents have equal rights to their child until and unless the Family Court says otherwise. This means that they can try to keep the child to themselves (and away from the other spouse/parent), if they so desire, but the Court will take that into account when determining which parent should be granted custody.
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.
