Answer:
If you want to end your marriage, consider filing for divorce. In South Carolina, you can file for a "no fault" divorce after living separately for one year. If you haven't been separated for a year, you can allege fault for the divorce, such as adultery, desertion, physical cruelty, or addiction. Proving fault can impact decisions on spousal support, property division, and child custody.
If you prefer not to divorce, you can seek legal separation. This involves filing a petition with the court to address property settlement and child custody/support while remaining married.
