Re: Divorce
In order to get divorced in SC, one of you must file a divorce action, have a hearing, etc. There is no "automatic" divorce provision under SC law.
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.
