Family Court Reform Public Hearing Oct 26 Wren HS
I currently serve on the SC Senate Judiciary Committee. For the recess, I have been appointed to a subcommittee to review our State’s Family Court system, and find much needed reform.
We will have our regional hearing for the upstate on Wednesday, October 26th at Wren High School in Anderson County.
Areas most desperate for reform:
Child Support Children receive their child support regularly when the court handles the payments and when the required parent is cooperative. Currently, it is very difficult to get the deadbeat parents to pay consistently. Reform must address this issue for our children.
Overloaded Court Our courts are overloaded with cases and hearings. What efforts can we make to reduce this load? Mandatory Pre-Marital Counseling? Mandatory Divorce Mediation before filing?

I also have a problem with the DSS in Pickens county that should be heard.
I am a father of five and the DSS is refusing a treatment plan for us as well.
Myself and my wife love our children and are more than capable of caring for them. They have lied and fooled the judges of our court system to believe there story and ignore ours . we have many good references to prove this. there are a lot of worker from DSS that don’t work there anymore for some reason or another.
I can say this if we have had good attorneys when we went in there the first time this would have never happened. our story from the start to now should be heard .
please help us. the longer our kids stay away the more damage they do for the kids. Please if you will call or we can meet.
I pray that you will at least hear our story. They should be stopped from doing what they are doing. Even the DSS’s attorney has left from there now she is doing something illegal as well as the others that have left. One of my kids have been permanently scare on his face because of the DSS’s neglect.
Thanks if you can help——-GM
