Legal Question in Family Law in South Carolina
if the husband leaves the home and they have young children, can he be charged with child abandonment by her lawyer?
1 Answer from Attorneys
If the parties do not wish to be married any more, then someone HAS to leave the home. The Court will not hold it against the person that leaves, assuming that he/she leaves in a responsible, reasonable manner. If that is the case, then abandonment is not a concern, but there are better and worse ways of leaving.
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.
