Alimony Child Support in South Carolina

In South Carolina, alimony and child support are governed by separate statutes and regulations: alimony under S.C. Code § 20-3-130 and child support under S.C. Code Reg. 114-4710 et seq. Each follows its own set of rules that a family court applies based on the specific circumstances of the case. Alimony is determined by the court after considering the statutory factors outlined in the code, while child support is calculated using a formula implemented by the official state calculator. The calculator at the official source processes the required financial information to produce a support amount. The verified figure of $30,000 is used in the example below to illustrate the calculation. The calculator at the official source can be used to estimate potential obligations.
