We at Barth, Ballenger & Lewis, L.L.P. assist clients in resolving domestic issues and moving on to the next chapter of their lives.

South Carolina Divorce Lawyers Who Care About Families on Your Side
Our family law practice focuses on the following areas:
Divorce
The end of a marriage is an emotionally charged time filled with complex legal issues that must be resolved. In preparing your case, our family-oriented attorneys combine compassion with an ethical approach. Understanding the impact of divorce on children, we focus on their best interests and keep them out of sometimes contentious disputes. We thoroughly prepare our clients' cases for potential courtroom litigation while also negotiating aggressively on their behalf.
Child Custody and Visitation
When it comes to spending quality time with their parents, the children's best interests come first. In custody and other divorce-related matters involving children, South Carolina courts require mediation. At Barth, Ballenger & Lewis, L.L.P., we emphasize a collaborative approach to easing the transition to a post-divorce life for all family members.
Child Support/Spousal Support
Child support amounts are governed by strict state statutes. A calculator generally takes into account income, expenses, and custody time. Despite the calculations, the results are frequently disputed because one spouse conceals income from self-employment or business ownership. Our job is to get to the bottom of things, even if that means enlisting the assistance of financial experts.
Property Division
Asset division can be contentious, from simple asset division to negotiating the split of million-dollar businesses and estates. Our job is to identify all assets, including hidden assets, and assist in valuing those assets before asset and debt division. We are committed to protecting our clients' rights and futures after their marriage has ended.
In addition to the above, we assist clients with prenuptial agreements and paternity issues.
