Authorizes discovery as a matter of right in certain South Carolina family court cases.
The bill amends the South Carolina Code of Laws to add a new section allowing for automatic discovery in family court cases. Specifically, it grants the responding party an automatic right to engage in formal depositions and discovery when a rule to show cause is issued regarding alleged violative acts not more than two years old.
