SOUTH CAROLINA Part 37

Non-Custodial Parents

A non-custodial parent  may apply ICSSD to have paternity or a child support order established and/or to have the support order reviewed.

The ICSSD will schedule a negotiation conference or court hearing to establish child support. If the CP lives in South Carolina, he/she will be required to attend the conference or hearing. If the NCP lives out-of-state and a hearing is scheduled out-of-state, the CP will not be required to attend the hearing in another state. However, the CP may be required to attend a conference with the ICSSD. Child support (and medical support, if available) will be set in the administrative or court order. An administrative order is enforceable in the same manner as a court order.
