Grounds for Divorce
The spouses may file for a divorce referring to the specific grounds for divorce recognized by the state family law. In South Carolina, both fault-based and no-fault grounds are recognized. Fault grounds for divorce point out the spouse's wrongdoing. The plaintiff must prove any of the outlined grounds before the court. These grounds are adultery, alcohol or drug addiction, physical cruelty, and one-year desertion of the spouse.
The no-fault ground doesn't need any evidence. In South Carolina, the only no-fault ground for divorce is "living apart without cohabitation continuously for one year or more." If the spouses meet this condition, they may state that they want to get a divorce and will not be required to prove anything.

I think that all the papers related to a certain county with its own legal nuances would be prepared correctly only by a South Carolina-based company. So that's why I used SouthCarolinaOnlineDivorce and I was really satisfied. My divorce papers were completed in a timely manner and I had no troubles with filing. That was a really smooth process and you can be confident with your filing.

It always seemed to me that divorce must be a much more complicated process. I couldn't imagine how I would cope with that. Where do I get all those papers, how to fill them out and where to go and what to do? So, I was really glad I found southcarolinaonlinedivorce.com and they took care of all the paperwork and gave me clear instructions on how to file with the court. That made the whole process so much easier!
