Legal Question in Family Law in South Carolina
I am currently divorced and have a 16 year old son. My Ex and I have shared custody and should my son should be staying with him more since he doesn't pay child support. My son says he wants to live with me almost 90% of the time in which he basically does now.
Isn't he old enough to decide now to whom he wants to live with? If so, how do I get the divorce documents to become no longer valid?

There are many issues that come into play in custody cases, including child's preference and the time spent with each parent. Based on the limited information you provided, it sounds as though you can make a good argument that you should have custody, which would result in the father paying child support to you.
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.
