SOUTH CAROLINA Part 15

Types of Custody

Sole custody, typically favored in South Carolina case law, is defined as a situation where a parent or other person “has temporary or permanent custody of a child and . . . the rights and responsibilities for major decisions concerning the child, including . . . education, medical and dental care, extracurricular activities, and religious training.”  If sole custody is awarded, the noncustodial parent will be allowed “appropriate parenting time.”
