Brantley v. Brantley 441 S.C. 284, 893 S.E.2d 349 (Ct.App. 2023) is a published August 2023 appeal from the Court of Appeals. Brantley stems from a child custody and support modification. The appeal took so long that child custody issues were moot by the time the appeal resolved. Because my client’s financial disclosure at trial was not credible (I was not his trial attorney), the Court of Appeals only reduced his income for child support purposes by under $1,000. It reversed one of the two contempt findings he appealed, and affirmed a $75,000 attorney fee award based both on my client’s “income” and his uncooperative litigation behavior.
