Legal Question in Family Law in South Carolina
I have joint custody with primary placement of our 4 year old son. My ex step daughter is now pregnant at 14 years of age and resides with my ex wife. They are planning on the RU486 pill. I am of the belief that my son should not be around this and would like to have a modification of the decree. Does this qualify as a significant change of circumstance to bring a motion forth? The previous information was given directly to me from my ex and can be verified. It is not hearsay.

I believe that an argument could be crafted from those facts to attempt to accomplish what you want. The argument should be a little more subtle than simply, "the 14 year old is pregnant," and could be argued "the mother is failing to appropriate supervise and parent the child(ren)."
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.
If you need more information, you can visit my family law blog (www.SCFamilyLaw.com) or our website (www.SpartanburgLawyers.com). I wish you the best of luck.
