South Carolina recognizes no-fault and fault-based grounds for divorce. For a no-fault divorce, the parties must have lived separate and apart without cohabitation for at least one year.
The fault-based grounds for divorce are (1) adultery; (2) habitual drunkenness; (3) physical cruelty; and (4) abandonment. Abandonment is rarely used as a ground for divorce. Mental abuse/cruelty is not a basis for a divorce in South Carolina. To get a fault-based divorce, you must meet the burden of proof to show that the fault-based ground exists.
