An aphorism first year law students are told is “bad facts make bad law.” The January 19, 2011 Court of Appeals opinion in SCDSS v. Polite, 391 S.C. 275, 705 S.E.2d 78 (Ct.

Just the past week I have closed a support modification case in which a party’s financial declaration understates that party’s projected future income and taken over another support modification case in which my client did not have the financial declarations the court used to approve his previous support agreement.

A spouse or parent walks into an attorney’s office with a “relationship” problem: he isn’t getting along with his wife and wants out of the marriage; she and the child’s father disagree over how much time he should spend with that child. Such problems don’t have an obvious or correct solution; rather, to resolve them [...]

N.B. The holding of Floyd v. Morgan that it took a higher burden of proof to modify support agreement was subsequently overruled in the case of Lewis v. Lewis, 392 S.C. 381, 709 S.E.2d 650 (2011) With today’s advance sheet, the Supreme Court’s opinion in Floyd v. Morgan, 383 S.C. 469, 681 S.E.2d 570 (2009) becomes final, as the Supreme Court [...]

An appeal I handled for a local colleague, Douglas Barker, resulted in a published opinion today (July 29, 2009) from the Court of Appeals in Spreeuw v. Barker, 385 S.C. 45, 682 S.E.2d 843 (Ct. App. 2009). It represents a small, perhaps Pyrrhic, victory. Ms. Spreeuw did not prevail in a single issue in her [...]
