Many people believe you can get a divorce in South Carolina in just 90 days, especially in at-fault cases like adultery or habitual drunkenness. But in reality, the legal process takes far longer.

In this episode of HH Law, Charleston attorney John Henderson explains why the “90-day divorce” is mostly a myth. We walk through how at-fault divorce cases actually work in South Carolina, including filing, service, the 30-day response period, discovery, mediation, and the time it takes to get a final hearing date.

From exchanging financial records and evidence to working through mandatory mediation and court scheduling delays, the timeline quickly stretches beyond what most people expect. Even straightforward cases often take several months, and some can take up to a year depending on the circumstances.

Whether you are dealing with a high net worth divorce or a more modest divorce, understanding the timeline is key.

High income and high net worth divorce cases are very different from standard divorce matters. In this episode, attorney John Henderson explains what you need to know before filing if you have significant assets, income, or business interests. For anyone searching for a Charleston divorce lawyer, a South Carolina divorce lawyer, or guidance on complex divorce issues, this conversation covers the financial and strategic realities that matter most.

We cover how your financial life will become visible during the process, what it means for your case to become public record, and how to protect your privacy. You will also learn about the team of professionals involved in high net worth divorces, including attorneys, forensic accountants, business valuation experts, mediators, and guardians ad litem.

This episode explains the discovery process and why you will be required to provide detailed financial and personal information. We also discuss the true cost of going to trial, including legal fees that can reach tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Key topics include alimony in long-term marriages, the difference between marital and non-marital property, and how assets like businesses, inherited funds, and ownership interests can be divided. For business owners, divorce often overlaps with business valuation, ownership interests, and sometimes even partnership disputes.

We also explain why honesty with your lawyer is critical and how hidden information can damage your case in court.

Most importantly, this episode focuses on the importance of a cost-benefit analysis. Divorce should be approached as a financial and strategic decision, not an emotional one. If you are investing in legal representation, the goal is to protect your future, your assets, and your children.

If you are a high-income earner or facing a high net worth divorce in Charleston, Myrtle Beach, or elsewhere in South Carolina, this episode will help you understand the risks, costs, and strategies involved.
