Legal Question in Family Law in South Carolina

Re: Legal Separation

If you are truly "legally separated" (i.e., you have been issued a Decree of Separate Maintenance), then none of the financial issues addressed in that Order will be changed by any adultery at this point. If you are only physically separated, then any adultery at this point will probably have an effect on how the financial issues in your case.

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.
