Mediators in Georgetown County, SC

How does mediation work in Georgetown County?

Opening a domestic case in Georgetown County Family Court costs $150 unless a judge exempts the filer, and the Clerk of Court maintains the "608 Appointment List" used when lawyers must be appointed [1]. Since June 1, 2019, regular support has gone to the State Disbursement Unit, but a purge payment ordered after a contempt finding is paid at the clerk's office by cash, cashier's check or money order [1]. The clerk is elected countywide for a four-year term [2]. Under state law the county's terms of court are held in Georgetown, part of the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit with Horry County [3]. Neutrals shown below are drawn from the South Carolina Bar's ADR Directory [4].
