66 Questions Answered
- Q. What can I do about an ex husband who refuses to refinance the house we shared and remove my name?
- A: You would nee to hire a family court lawyer to take you ex-husband back to court to force the refinancing of the home. Get a consultation with a lawyer in your area to review your divorce decree and to advise you.
- Q. I am trying to file for separation and I printed out the separation agreement and took it to the court house to file. Wh
- A: An agreement has to be approved by a judge after a hearing where both parties appear, have provided financial declarations and answered the judge's questions. A hearing can only be scheduled for a case that has been previously filed with the court. A case is commenced in family court by the filing of a summons and complaint, after which it has to be served on the other party and proof of service filed with the court. Procedurally, more is required after that before you get to the hearing to have the agreement approved.
- Q. Can someone be charged with custodial interference if there is no court order?
- A: In South Carolina, signing a birth certificate provides merely rebuttable evidence that the signer is the biological father of a child born out of wedlock. The putative father's paternity must be established in a family court hearing, before he is legally recognized as the father and before he can legally exercise visitation or seek custody of the child. Until then, the putative father has no legal rights in the child. If, however, the mother brought a child support case against the putative father and child support was ordered, his paternity would have been established in that case.
