Legal Question in Family Law in South Carolina

Re: Child endangerment

It seems to me that you are stretching to make a case for custody. If custody has not yet been determined, what you describe may be relevant based on the age(s) of the children, schooling and other matters. If you seek to "pin" wreckless endangerment upon the other parent for a singular occurence, you are not likely to win. If there is a potential out of state contest for custody, you are cautioned that not taking action may ultimately be costly not only in terms of legal fees but as to the custodial outcome. Contact an attorney.

Re: Child endangerment

It seems like a bit of a stretch. Child Endagerment usually applies to a person who was arrested for drunk driver while having a child in the car. Or driving 90 mph in a 35 mph, etc. Simply driving for a long time doesn't sound on its face to be Child Endangerment. However, I don't know much about what happened. I could envision a situation where the driver didn't have much sleep, was very tired, and wasn't alert enough to safely operate the vehicle. I would really need to know more about what happened. Please feel free to call if you have any other questions. Robert Johnston (843) 828-1137
