Legal Question in Family Law in South Carolina

We never got married but we did get a marriage license. Now the "wife" has left our home in South Carolina and took the baby and went to Arkansas. She has changed her phone number I cant contact her. I have tried to contact her sister, mother and aunt through facebook to tell them to ask 'wife" to call me but no results so far. I want to know about my daughter and I want to see her. What are my rights as a father? She hasn't filed for child support.

You need to schedule a meeting to discuss these issues with an attorney asap, because time is working against you with regard to your child.

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.
