SOUTH CAROLINA Part 12
Hearing
Before the hearing the plaintiff must fill out a set
of forms stating the conditions of the divorce, and the parties, property and
children involved. If the divorce is considered no fault, then most of the
issues involving the children must be squared away, including things like
visitation schedule and living arrangements. During the hearing the judge will
hear the case and make a decision that is equitable for both parties. Equitable
does not mean equal, but rather what seems fair for each party given the
circumstances. Once the judge has signed the Final Order of Divorce the couple
is divorced. It is the plaintiff’s responsibility to file the Final Order of
Divorce with county clerk’s office, and to send a copy to the defendant.
