Legal Question in Family Law in South Carolina
My ex husband and I have been divorced for over a year. We have joint custody and follow Judge Brown's Standard order of Visitation. My fiance moved down to SC from my home state about 6 weeks ago, and we purchased a home. My ex husband says he is going to file a motion against me because he says I'm in contempt of court by allowing my fiance to live with myself and my daughter. My fiance and I will be moving into our new home February 1st, and married in March. What should I do?

Judge Brown's Parental Guidelines prevent any overnight boyfriends/girlfriends, so you would probably be putting yourself into a contempt scenario under the facts you describe. Therefore, to avoid that possibility, you should either go ahead and get married or not live together until you are married.
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.
