Trusted Child Support Attorney Handling Modification And Enforcement | Chester and Union County, SC

Last updated on May 14, 2026

No matter the age of the child or the relationship of the parents, support issues can be a constant concern.

I am attorney Cyrus Corbett from Cyrus Corbett, Attorney at Law, LLC. I serve clients in Chester and Union counties. My personal perspective is shaped by real-life experience, and I care about the results for every one of my clients. When you need real, compassionate legal guidance, call me.

Navigating South Carolina’s Child Support Guidelines

South Carolina uses an income-sharing model to divide child support responsibilities between both parents. The South Carolina Department of Social Services (DSS) provides tools and a calculator to estimate payments based on income and custody arrangements, but there are important variations.

Child Support Issues I Handle

In my work as a South Carolina child support lawyer, I regularly assist clients with:

  • The initial establishment of child support
  • Modifications due to income or custody changes
  • Out-of-state support orders (UIFSA)
  • Enforcement and arrears collection

I ensure all matters are presented to the court with proper documentation and can help obtain the best possible results in every situation.

How Are Payments Determined?

Payment calculations follow structured rules. The factors that determine payment amounts include:

  • The combined parental income
  • The number of children being supported
  • The income shares model used by South Carolina

Custody schedules also influence support calculations. Other factors include health insurance costs, childcare expenses and a child’s special needs.

When Can You Request A Child Support Modification In South Carolina?

South Carolina permits reviews of child support orders every three years or whenever there is a substantial change in circumstances, such as when a parent loses their job, primary custody has changed or there is a massive shift in the child’s needs.

The modification process begins with a request to the Family Court. Supporting documents such as income records and custody details are required. The timeline varies depending on court schedules and case complexity.

How Can You Force Compliance With A Child Support Order?

When a parent fails to meet their child support obligations, enforcement tools include:

  • Wage garnishment options
  • License suspension consequences
  • Contempt of court proceedings
  • DSS assistance

I can help you push for compliance when your co-parent fails to live up to their obligation.
