Handling Complicated Family Law Matters in Lexington County
Lexington County’s growing population has made its family court one of the busier dockets in the Midlands. Our attorneys know this courthouse and bring more than 12 years of combined family law experience to every case we handle here. We are available 24/7 by phone, text, or email because family matters rarely resolve themselves on a convenient schedule.
Child Custody
Lexington County Family Court makes custody decisions based on the best interests of the child. Our attorneys help clients pursue arrangements covering legal custody, physical custody, joint custody, and sole custody, as well as modifications when a significant change in circumstances requires revisiting an existing order.
Visitation
Even when one parent holds primary physical custody, the other parent typically retains the right to meaningful time with their child. We help clients develop detailed visitation schedules that account for regular parenting time, holidays, school breaks, and special occasions, with enough specificity to prevent future conflict.
Child Support
South Carolina’s income shares model considers both parents’ gross earnings, healthcare and insurance costs, childcare and educational expenses, and the number of overnight visits when calculating each parent’s obligation. Our attorneys help clients understand what they are entitled to receive or expected to pay and take action when support orders are not being honored.
Domestic Violence Protection Orders
If you or your children are in danger, our attorneys can move quickly to help you petition the Lexington County Family Court for an Order of Protection under South Carolina Code § 20-4-60. These orders can establish immediate legal boundaries between you and an abusive household member while longer-term custody and support matters are resolved.
Alimony
Spousal support decisions in Lexington County depend on the specific facts of each marriage. The court weighs the length of the marriage, each spouse’s earning capacity, employment history, and marital misconduct before deciding whether alimony is appropriate and in what form.
