Supreme Court of South Carolina
Barbara A. Nienow, Appellant v. Arthur E. Nienow, Respondent
February 9, 1977268 S.C. 161
Summary
The court held that South Carolina had jurisdiction over the wife's independent action for alimony, attorney's fees, and costs, and that the case should not be dismissed on forum non conveniens grounds. It further held that the wife was entitled to alimony and attorney's fees, but remanded for determination of reasonable amounts and whether alimony should be paid in a lump sum. The court also taxed the husband with costs, restored the attachment of his South Carolina real property, and deemed the temporary-support claim abandoned.
