Divorce Process Serving in South Carolina
Your spouse must be formally served for a divorce to proceed. SimpleDivorce assigns a licensed process server who delivers the papers, documents each attempt with GPS and time stamps, and returns a notarized affidavit of service for the court. In South Carolina, most uncontested cases finalize within 4 to 8 weeks after filing, once the one-year separation required for the no-fault ground has already been satisfied.
