Re: divorce
If the action was validly filed in Michigan, then you can most likely continue it there. If you want to wait to refile here, then you will need to meet the jurisdictional requirements for SC, which means that you must lie here for a year or both of you must live here for more than three months.
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.
