How long does it take to get a divorce in South Carolina
In South Carolina, the divorce process includes a mandatory one-year separation period for no-fault divorces, where spouses live apart before filing.
For fault-based divorces, this separation period is not required. Uncontested divorces, where both parties agree on key issues, can be relatively quick after the separation period, often finalized within a few months.
However, contested divorces with disputes over property, custody, or alimony can take longer, depending on the complexity and the court's schedule. The timeline varies by county and case specifics.
While South Carolina's separation requirement extends the process for no-fault divorces, the actual duration varies based on dispute resolution and legal proceedings.
Residency Requirements in SC
In South Carolina, specific residency requirements are in place for divorce:
State Residency:
One of the spouses must have resided in South Carolina for a minimum of one year before filing for divorce. This residency period establishes the jurisdiction of South Carolina courts over the divorce case.
Filing Location:
The divorce petition should be filed in the county where either spouse resides, ensuring local handling of the case.
Military Personnel:
Military members stationed in South Carolina can file for divorce if they have resided in the state for one year. These residency rules ensure that divorce proceedings are conducted within South Carolina's legal framework, providing a structured and equitable process.
