Helping Families Understand Child Support Laws in South Carolina

In South Carolina, both parents are required to contribute to the well-being of their children, and this includes providing child support. Child support is meant to provide the child with the necessary expenses to cover their following needs:

  • Physical
  • Emotional
  • Medical
  • Educational

Typically, it is the parent without child custody, called the "non-custodial parent," who is responsible for paying child support to the parent that has custody, called the "custodial parent."

At Carrie Warner, Attorney at Law, our Columbia-based child support attorneys are focused on providing solution-driven counsel to help families achieve practical child support arrangements. We approach each case with the best interests of the children and parents in mind. Whether you are looking to receive child support payment or need to negotiate a fair payment to the other parent, our team can guide you through the process.

Don't navigate child support laws in SC alone. Get help from our Columbia child support attorney using our online form or by calling (803) 994-8171 today.
