Supreme Court of South Carolina

Mark M. Sweeney, Petitioner v. Irene M. Sweeney, Respondent.

March 20, 2019426 S.C. 229

Summary

The South Carolina Supreme Court affirmed the family court’s alimony award, holding that courts must consider the effect of investment income on both spouses but are not required to project a precise future amount. Applying a de novo standard, the Court found the family court properly evaluated the statutory alimony factors and did not err.
