Re: divorce, vinculo matrimonii
"A vinculo matrimonii" is Latin for "from the bond of marriage." Sometimes is it included in a divorce decree, and other times it isn't, but it adds nothing to a divorce in SC other than a few Latin words.
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.
