You can file here in SC for a divorce if you have been here for over a year. You do not mention whether he will agree on the asset / debt issues and/or if he will cooperate in having the divorce granted. If so, then it will take much less time and cost much less money for 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.

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.
