Legal Question in Family Law in South Carolina

Re: custody of child

If the father of the child was to bring a custody action against you, the fact that you are living with someone that you are not married to will be held against you. Whether that, by itself, would be enough to have you lose custody is questionable, but custody cases are rarely won or lost on a single issue. The simplest solution to protect yourself is either marry your boyfriend or don't move in with him.

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.
