Legal Question in Family Law in South Carolina

If the parents are not married, the mother has sole custody by statute until and unless the Court says otherwise. If the father files an action for custody and can prove that the mother doesn't have the child with her, then he certainly has a chance at getting custody of 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.
