Does fault play a role in the divorce?
The court may consider fault by either party when determining alimony, separate maintenance and support, and the equitable distribution of property. In South Carolina, adultery by the party who would otherwise receive alimony is a complete bar to the receipt of alimony except under certain circumstances. Given the severe ramifications fault has in the divorce process, please consult an experienced divorce attorney who can answer your questions and address your concerns.
