Re: divorce
The answer is "yes" and "no." You can file for divorce if you've lived separate and apart for over one year. However, you aren't actually divorced until after you have a hearing and after the Court issues an Order saying you're divorced.
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.
