Legal Question in Family Law in South Carolina
Seperation
I am not legally married but have been with the same person for over 8 years and are considered common law married. Do I still need to file for a divorce and how do I go about getting one done?

Re: Seperation
If you are common law married, then you will have to get a divorce just as if you had a "church wedding." All of the issues of your marriage will have to be addressed, as well as having the Court find that you are actually common law married.
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.
