Legal Question in Family Law in South Carolina

Re: court summens

One of the prerequisites for a case going forward in any Court is for the opposing party to be properly served. However, if the other side cannot locate you, it is possible in some situations to serve you by publication in the newspaper, which could result in you being properly served and not necessarily knowing it. Of course, if you haven't been served, then you would have no way of even knowing if there was a hearing scheduled.

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.
