What Form 843 Spouse 2011-2023

Hello I'm Frank Hartman with the Hartman law firm and I'm a practicing attorney in Charleston South Carolina specializing in auto accidents and personal injury and today we're going to answer the question how can you get a divorce without a lawyer in the state of South Carolina this process is called getting a divorce quote-unquote pro se which is a latin term that essentially means moving forward on your own as in you do not have legal representation and the first thing that I would encourage you to do is to go to s-see Bar org that's South Carolina blorg and that's a website for the South Carolina Bar Association which is the Association that governs lawyers in the state of South Carolina if you look in the lower left-hand corner of the website you'll see that there's a packet that is specifically for people who want to move forward and get a divorce pro se the basis that you'll be moving forward under South Carolina law is living separate and apart for one calendar year what I mean by that is that both the husband and the wife are gonna have to live separate and apart somebody's gonna have to get an apartment and they're gonna have to move out of the marital home and they're gonna have to establish that they're no longer residing with one another and they're gonna have to be able to prove that with an independent witness in court that they have lived separate and apart for more than one year the reason being is South Carolina as a state wants to encourage people to remain married and they want to give them a cooling-off period and some time to think about whether they actually want to move forward and get a divorce...
