Legal Question in Family Law in South Carolina

Re: seperation

If you are still married, then you can still commit adultery, even if you are "legally separated." However, if you truly are "legally separated" (as in you have been issued a Decree of Separate Maintenance), then there may not be any financial ramifications to your committing adultery. Without looking at your paperwork and getting more information, it is impossible to give you any more information at this time.

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.
