SOUTH CAROLINA Part 67

What Is the Most Common Type of South Carolina Alimony?

South Carolina divorce judges are most likely to order the payment of permanent periodic alimony. If this happens in your divorce case, the supporting spouse will have to make ongoing payments (usually every month) to the supported spouse for a lengthy period of time. It is called permanent alimony because it typically lasts for a lifetime.

Your divorce judge can later increase or decrease the amount of permanent alimony if one or both of you has a significant change in circumstances. Since the amount of permanent alimony depends on multiple factors, you should consult an experienced Mt. Pleasant family law attorney if alimony may be an issue in your divorce case.
