Re: can i?
Public Defenders only represent persons accused of a crime, and they do not represent adults in Family Court actions. You might want to contact South Carolina Legal Services to see if you qualify for them to assist you. Their website is http://www.lawhelp.org/SC/
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.
