Re: legal seperation

In SC, there is no waiting period to file for a legal separation. You can file as soon as one of you moves out.

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.

Re: legal seperation

You need to talk to a SC attorney if you file in that state.

In Texas, you must be a resident of TX for 6 months and live in the same county for 90 days. Texas does NOT have legal separation. You must file for divorce. A divorce MUST be on file a minimum of 61 days in order to get divorced.
