South Carolina H3078 amends alimony laws to allow awards in divorce cases even if adultery occurs.
South Carolina H3078 modifies Section 20-3-130 of the South Carolina Code to permit courts to grant alimony in divorce cases, even if one party commits adultery. Previously, adultery could bar alimony awards. The bill allows alimony if adultery occurs before either the signing of a property settlement agreement or the entry of a permanent order. This change aims to provide more flexibility in alimony decisions during divorce proceedings.
