I recently saw a poster on a telephone pole advertising uncontested divorces in Charleston, South Carolina for $150.00 even when there are children involved. Knowing the filing fee in family court costs this much, I was curious how any lawyer could advertise this fee for their services. So, I called the number and visited their website to find out more. As it turns out, this advertiser was NOT a law firm nor were they lawyers. Instead, these advertisers are non-lawyers who are charging people for the divorce forms and paperwork that are already FREE online from the South Carolina Judiciary including instructions. As written on one website, in fine print, “We are not attorneys, nor do we portray to be. All parties are ‘pro se’ and clients will file any and all court documents as ‘pro se.’ We do not offer or provide any legal advice,opinions,conclusions, persuasions or otherwise. The services provided are only administrative and of a clerical nature . . . .” To save you $150 for forms that are FREE online, click here —> South Carolina Simple Divorce Packet.
