The State
Nearly two dozen members of the South Carolina Alimony Reform flocked to an S.C. Senate hearing last week to show support for four bills that could lighten the state’s requirements for lifelong alimony payments.
The four bills would create two new alternatives to permanent alimony, change the law’s definition of “cohabitation” and modify some the factors that alimony decisions are currently based upon.
Some South Carolina attorney’s associations said they would support the proposals if a few tweaks are made but feel judges should keep discretion to rule on a case-by-case basis.
