I live in Georgetown County, Sc and am just at the beginning of the separation process and my biggest concern is our son...seeing that he gets the chance to live as close to normal life as possible and not be totally screwed up by the divorce that is inevitable. My wife tells me her attorney says that I have no chance of sole custody (legal or residential) and more than likely will not get joint custody (legal or residential), meaning she is likely to get sole custody of our son. When I asked my attorney as we were doing the Separation Filing to serve her with, he said we would ask for sole custody, but more than likely get joint...then continued with a "well sometimes you never can tell, it's up to the judge."
I thought there were guidelines in this area. I'm not a criminal, spouse abuser, adulterer, mentally ill, pedofile, substance abuser or bad person of any kind...in fact more the opposite with many affidavits as testament. Our separation stems from monetary issues more than anything else. Anyone have any info or place to go for a clear idea on what the ruling is for child custody or denial of custody? THANKS
