Amends South Carolina law to clarify parental rights and responsibilities for children born out of wedlock.

This bill amends South Carolina law to specify that the mother and father of a child born out of wedlock are the natural guardians of the child if paternity is established. If paternity is not established, the mother is the natural guardian. It also mandates that parental responsibility, child support, and parenting plans must be determined in court. The bill ensures that both parents have equal rights and duties concerning their minor children, including access to educational and medical records.
