Desertion is a ground for divorce in SC, but it's rarely used any more. If you have custody of the child, the other parent will be required to pay child support.
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.
