In South Carolina, there are two main types of child custody: sole custody and joint custody. The former refers to when a parent has temporary or permanent custody of a child as well as the rights and responsibilities relating to major decisions concerning their child. Joint custody refers to when both parents have equal rights and responsibilities for their child. State law requires family court to consider all custody options, and the custody arrangement will be representative of what the court has deemed to be in the best interest of the child after examining numerous factors specific to a case, including the child’s preferences.
