Legal Question in Family Law in South Carolina

Re: parental right

The Family Court cannot address any issues regarding this child until *after* the child has been born. However, even then, the Court will not allow him to terminate his rights without a showing of very, very good reasons to do so.

Failure to provide monetary support during the pregnancy will not suffice, as you can ask the Court to require him to pay child support once the child is born and to reimburse you for a portion of the medical expenses related to the 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.StevensFirm.com). I wish you the best of luck.
