Legal Question in Family Law in South Carolina

If the retirement was earned and vested prior to this marriage, then the answer is "probably not." The Court can factor the retirement money into your gross monthly income when determining whether to award spousal support and if so, how much.

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.
