The house and divorce in South Carolina
South Carolina divides marital property through equitable distribution, meaning a fair split that isn't always 50/50. A home bought during the marriage is usually marital property. Both spouses on the title generally need to sign to sell, and a court order or settlement agreement may control the terms. Talk with your family law attorney before agreeing to a sale.
