Legal Question in Family Law in South Carolina
harassment
my spouse and I are currently separated, we have a three year old together, a few questions first is my spouse keeps calling me at all hours of the night and day, he has nothing to talk about but getting back together I have told her several times that I don't want to be with him and am going through with this divorce, I have told him if he wants to call and talk to our daughter that's fine but not to call and bug me about ''us'' because we are over. what can I do? I have changed my number, put new locks on the door and he still calls me all the time, and has broken into the house. second question. he wants joint custody but he is not proving to me that he really wants it, he is off four days at his job and will get her one day and wont even keep her over night because all she says is she wants me so he brings her home, he never calls to talk to her, and I am keeping a log book and dating the days he calls her and gets her is there any chance that I could be granted soul custody?

Re: harassment
Based on the information you provided, your best option is to file an action in family court will resolve many of the issues are concerned about. For instance, a restraining order will resolve the multiple calls, breaking into the house, etc. issues, and a visitation schedule will determine which days the child is with him and with you.
You should certainly stand a good chance at getting sole custody, but there are many factors which come into play in such cases. However, 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.
