Legal Question in Family Law in South Carolina

Family Law/Divorce&Separation

Does time living apart and length of time without sexual relations have any influence on filing for divorce?There's a mandatory year of separation law here in SC.Ugh!How does that work?My husband moved out in June and we have not had ANYthing close to physical relations/sex since February.Will this ''apply toward'' that time?

Re: Family Law/Divorce&Separation

As for the "one year" requirement, the only thing that counts is physically living apart (i.e. under separate roofs). Sexual relations do not factor into this analysis.

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.
