Legal Question in Family Law in South Carolina
do i need a lawyer
I already have the legal documents and all papers have already been signed by the spouse. Would a notary be fine and just take the divorce papers to the court house to be filed?

Re: do i need a lawyer
As long as you know the following, you won't need an attorney: what to file; where to file; how to file; how to serve other party; how to schedule hearing; how to draft a proper Order; implications of these issues; etc. The dollars that you try to save on the front end can end up costing you much more down the road.
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.StevensFirm.com). I wish you the best of luck.
