Divorce
The term “amicable divorce” does not mean that a couple remains friends during or after the divorce process. In South Carolina, it simply means that a divorce is uncontested. A contested divorce is a split where couples are not able to come to an agreement on the terms of their divorce. An uncontested divorce means that a couple can agree on almost all items of their separation. While it can take less time and be less stressful, you will still benefit from hiring a divorce attorney. They can help you navigate this complicated process, and end up saving you money and time. If you are interested in pursuing an amicable divorce, it’s important to remember that compromise and focusing on the bigger picture are very important. Hopefully, you and your spouse can navigate this process quickly and painlessly.

Divorce
The term “amicable divorce” does not mean that a couple remains friends during or after the divorce process. In South Carolina, it simply means that a divorce is uncontested. A contested divorce is a split where couples are not able to come to an agreement on the terms of their divorce. An uncontested divorce means that a couple can agree on almost all items of their separation. While it can take less time and be less stressful, you will still benefit from hiring a divorce attorney. They can help you navigate this complicated process, and end up saving you money and time. If you are interested in pursuing an amicable divorce, it’s important to remember that compromise and focusing on the bigger picture are very important. Hopefully, you and your spouse can navigate this process quickly and painlessly.
Child Support
Child support is money paid by one parent to the other to ensure that their childâ€™s standard of living is not reduced because of a separation or divorce. Usually, a parent making more money will pay the parent making less money. Parents have an equal obligation to financially support their children, with child support typically paid to the primary custodial parent. Child support payments must be enough to cover the reasonable needs of each child, such as his or her education and health expenses. The court also has the power to require parents maintain health insurance for the child and even assume certain additional expenses. An experienced Fort Mill child support attorney can help guide you through this emotion-driven part of a divorce action. Everyone pledges to be a great parent and to do â€œwhat is best for the children.â€ However, things can start to change whenever money is involved. You can always pay more than required, but we need to make sure what is ordered is truly enough.
Child Custody and Visitation
If you are wanting to pursue an amicable divorce, it’s important to remember that compromise is the key to success. Emotions can run very high when discussing things like child custody and splitting up your assets. However, focusing on the items that you care the most about, and letting the rest go can be helpful. Additionally, trying not to get lost in petty details can also help you keep your focus. The bigger picture is the goal of saving money by making your divorce process as quick and smooth as possible.
Adoption
Spousal Support
Because money is always an issue in divorce, alimony is a big concern. However, alimony is not awarded in every case and is not used to punish adultery. Rather, the type and amount, if awarded, depending on a number of specific case factors. For example, if you are married for only a brief time, alimony is usually NOT indicated. In many cases, neither party is required to pay any alimony at all. After all, the purpose of alimony is to help get your spouse re-established and/or to maintain their current economic status.
Legal Separation
Before seeking a divorce, a person can obtain a legal separation by asking for a Decree of Separate Maintenance and Support. In order to file for divorce or separation in South Carolina, at least one (1) of the parties must have resided in South Carolina for more than one (1) year, or show that both spouses have lived in South Carolina for a minimum of three (3) months. During this initial filing, you will also need to determine if there are other immediate legal issues that need to be brought before the court, such as child custody, support, and visitation as well as temporary alimony. In a final divorce decree, all marital issues, including property division, child matters, and any other alimony requests will be resolved

Criminal Defense
After you have compared our credentials and experience, we would welcome an opportunity to sit down and personally review your case. At a minimum, you should meet with us for a confidential, private consultation. You are going to feel better about your options after we talk. We promise. Call now and letâ€™s get started on your criminal defense. After all, this is what we do.
DUI/DWI
Robert Reeves is a former Registered Nurse (RN) who is licensed to practice law in both South Carolina and North Carolina. He is a member of the Million Dollar Advocates Forum, National Trial Lawyers Top 100, and SuperLawyers for South Carolina. He is also an inductee into the National College for DUI Defense.
Wrongful Death
There is no greater loss than losing a loved one, but it is especially hard when you donâ€™t have any warning. Someone elseâ€™s negligence can change your life forever in a fatal accident. We are experienced wrongful death attorneys and are here to help get you through this nightmare and find those answers. We represent and protect those left behind.
Traffic Violations
While some traffic tickets are more serious than others, the first goal is to reduce or eliminate any license points. After all, points on your driving record make your insurance rate go up. Although we cannot promise any particular outcome, we can guarantee our best efforts. So call for a free consultation and let’s discuss options.
Sex Crimes
Robert J. Reeves handles DUI and DWI cases in both South Carolina and North Carolina. In addition, he also fights for those charged with drug offenses, criminal domestic violence, and sex crimes. With over 30 years of litigation experience, he is not afraid to go all the way to trial. While we try to resolve cases by agreement, you have to be willing to get into the ring and fight in court if necessary. And we will if that is what is best for you and your family.
Robbery
Workplace violence can come in different forms. From verbal and physical abuse, sexual violence, robbery… This type of violence comes in many different forms, which means that there are many ways to address it...
Burglary
Misdemeanors
Being charged with any DUI offense is always serious, and a conviction will result in a permanent criminal record. But, a DUI is a misdemeanor and usually only requires payment of fines, ADSAP, SR-22 insurance, and loss of driving privileges for six (6) months, subject to a provisional license. However, if you are drinking while driving and someone is seriously injured or killed, you can be charged with a felony DUI that could result in years of time in state prison, up to 25 years. No one ever expects something really bad to happen. It is all too possible for an average, law-abiding citizen to find themselves in serious legal trouble from just one bad mistake in judgement. This is why you should never get behind the wheel if you have been drinking. A DUI can be the least of your worries if you become in an accident on the way home, even if someone else hits you. Even if it is a passenger in your car, you could be charged with felony DUI if anyone is seriously injured as a result of an alcohol related accident.
Drug Crimes
Zac Fry is a former South Carolina prosecutor who now focuses his practice on criminal defense. After clerking for a Circuit Court Judge, Mr. Fry began his career prosecuting DUI charges. Consequently, he is trained to convict. Now, he applies those skills to aggressively defend DUI, DUAC, and felony DUI cases. In addition, Mr. Fry also aggressively defends all drug charges, criminal domestic violence, as well as felony cases.
Assault
Homicide

Workers Compensation
One of our clients’ first and most pressing concerns when they meet with us is how to get their weekly benefits started. They have to be able to pay their bills and provide for their family. We understand and appreciate that stress and will do our best to get your weekly checks coming as quickly as possible. South Carolina workers compensation laws dictate how much you get and when those benefits begin…

Premises Liability
Property Damage
As most motorcycle accidents result in permanent injury, the damages usually exceed the insurance coverage of both the defendant and plaintiff motorcycle rider. In nearly every motorcycle accident, there will be some required medical treatment, lost wages, property damage, and pain and suffering. There may be other damages depending on the case, such as loss of quality of life, and even wrongful death.

Personal Injury
An auto accident can change your life forever in an instant. If you are on the road, you are at risk. We see it everyday. Someone is going too fast, not paying attention to the road, or is on their cell phone texting. Others are impaired or otherwise unsafe to drive, whether from alcohol or drugs. Sadly, you or your family member can be seriously injured or killed even if you do everything right. Fortunately, our trial lawyers are experienced auto accident attorneys who practice personal injury law and can help. It’s what we do everyday.

Trusts and Estates

Probate
In wrongful death cases, there are potentially two types of benefits. The first is a â€œsurvival actionâ€ where the decedent lives for even an instant before death. This is where witnesses at the scene or autopsy results are vital. If proven, the decedentâ€™s estate is entitled to medical bills, funeral expenses, and pain and suffering. The second benefit, which does not go through the estate, is for loss of support, services, and companionship, and goes directly to family members. Of course, there are tax consequences for any benefits that pass through the estate, and a decedentâ€™s will or probate law would control beneficiaries.
