Deciding whether or not to leave your spouse and end your marriage is a scary, daunting decision.  Sometimes, though, your spouse makes this decision for you by forcing the issue by informing you he or she no longer loves you and wants a divorce, by moving out, or by hiring a divorce attorney and possibly filing an action.

Lessening the fear of those who find themselves in this position is a great service.  Giving a divorce client a clear idea of their options alleviates much of their fear.  Our firm has accomplished this task by creating a simple, one page visual that describes South Carolina’s Family Court divorce process.  To download a copy of this visual, please click here.

I used to hand draw this chart for clients, but given my terrible handwriting, clients responded very positively to this new visual!  They tell me this one document truly helps them grasp the incredible amount of information we give them orally into an understandable and easy to follow map.  Many also find it reassuring to know that at any time, even after the divorce, reconciliation is possible.

Thus, if you know of someone going through a South Carolina divorce refer them to this chart.   Giving our clients this chart is one of the greatest services my team and I provide our clients.  It decreases the emotional toll and stress the clients feel, especially at the beginning of a case, and as a result, the client is much better able to assist us in substantive issues when their emotions are less heightened and likely to interfere with wise decision-making.
