Legal Question in Family Law in South Carolina
Separation Agreement
If we have already completed a separation agreement in the courts, she has already waived alimony, and custody has been decided - are there any negative ramifications to having an ''at-fault'' divorce due to adultery just to get it over with? Adultery has been committed by both of us, but I would prefer to have her file against me just to keep our relations more amicable. Thanks!

Re: Separation Agreement
Typically, if all of the child and financial issues have been resolved in a Decree of Separate Maintenance, then there is little to no risk of her filing a fault based divorce against you.
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.
