What is the name of your state?South Carolina


Can anyone tell me what the law is in SC when it comes to Children being in a house with someone of the opposite sex (of the parent) and if there is a time frame as to which the kids should not be in the presence of this other person. I know in some states it is from 9pm to 6am that the law states. Just to let you know this parent is married and not legally separated and the person of the opposite sex is her NEW boyfriend.

So, your wife & you are separated (but no one has filed to make it legal) and she now lives with her new boyfriend- and you don't want the child there if the boyfriend is there overnight?

Unless there is a court order which addresses or restricts co-habitation - Then the answer is No.

You can file for separation/divorce and ask for an order which addresses co-habitation. Whether or not you get it depends on geography and the judge hearing the case. ie; In Waco, TX it might fly- In LA, CA it probably wouldn't even be considered.

Realize that sometimes you get what you ask for- So if you were successful, don't plan on having any girlfriends around unless you get married.

Florida, Michigan, Mississippi, North Carolina, North Dakota, Virginia and West Virginia, still have/enforce laws making male-female cohabitation between non married couples illegal. So, that won't work.

Hah - I seemed to remember that about VA and NC, but didn't want to take the time to look it up!

My response:

I want you to write "no one" 100 times - - and I don't mean "copy and paste" either! You are to physically type those two words 100 times.

Well...I can tell you that if FL and MI have those two laws on the books still that they honestly don't enforce them...or at least aren't consistant about it. I am familiar with several cases in both states where a judge declined to restrict overnight guests. I don't know about the other states.

Actually NC does I posted a case the other day re NC http://www.unmarriedamerica.org/News-About-Us/Anti-cohabitation.htm

think of the kids not yourself

unless you can prove the bf is a danger to the children, its none of your business.does she concern herself with whom you have spending the night when the kids are with you? not likely. so dont concern yourself who she has spending the night.concentrate on the kids,who are probaly extremaley upset right now, and need lots of love and support from both of you to get thru this rough time.

Of course, if more states restricted this sort of thing, we might have fewer kids living with God knows how many siblings, half-siblings, cousins, aunts, uncles, friends, etc. of dubious parentage.

I suspect that those laws are actually a violation of constitutional rights....particularly in the case that rmet posted. This issue will probably end up in front of the USSC someday.

Unfortunately, you're likely correct. Too bad people can't be a little more responsible where they connect their private parts.

My response:

I was also referring to "depnding", in addition to your habit and use of the made-up word, "noone".

Your assignment?

That is not relevant, the question was re if SC has laws re cohabitation. No, SC does not, whereas neighboring NC does. This fact is important as a major NC city exists near a border and many people commute between states so it could become a factor in the future.

Well...its true that SC doesn't have a law to that effect, so yes, most of this discussion probably is irrelevant for the OP.

However people other than the OP are going to read this thread...and some of them may be in the states that still have those laws on the books. Therefore, for their sake, my comment was relevant.
