In the state of south carolina when you are filing for joint custody does there have to be a primary parent named? If so does the primary parent have more rights to the child as far as childcare, health, extra curricular activities, etc?

Joint custody is a very complex area of the law, and the specifics of it will depend upon the facts of your particular case. There is no "one size fits all" answer to these questions.

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.
