Legal Question in Civil Litigation in South Carolina
Civil lawsuit
My 16yr old son moved to NC to live with his Father and he has been charged with sexual misconduct against his half brother that also lives in the home. He hasn't had to go to court yet but the Mother of the half brother has been calling me in SC & saying that she is going to file a civil suit against me and my current husband, my son, and my exhusband. Can she do this towards me since I do not live in the home or state where the alleged action took place? Also, he hasn't been found guilty of any crime yet. It all stems from her trying to get custody of her two children with my exhusband. She stated that if I could get my ex to give her both her children she would not do this. Thank you for any advice you can give. This is becoming a nightmare and on top of it all I'm having to worry wether or not we could loose our home.

Re: Civil lawsuit
Based on what I could determine from your question, any civil liability would be persuant to North Carolina law. Therefore, I would suggest that you copy and paste your question under that state. Good luck.
