Legal Question in Family Law in South Carolina

Re: Unmarried Mom vs. Deadbeat Dad

First, be careful as to believing what "others" may tell you, as only your attorney can give you advice specific to your particular case. The things that your friends, co-workers, and/or family members may tell you may not necessarily be true or apply to your case.

If you are living with a boyfriend/finance' to whom you are not married, then the Court will consider that to be an "immoral environment." However, that is only one of many factors that the Court will consider in a custody case. In some cases it is a determining factor, whereas in others it is not.

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.
