Supreme Court of South Carolina

Josie Bostick v. Earl Bostick, Sr.

July 31, 2024

Summary

The South Carolina Supreme Court reversed the Court of Appeals and reinstated the family court’s judgment, holding that the goodwill in the dental practice was personal goodwill and therefore excluded from equitable division. The Court based its decision on the lack of evidence that the goodwill was enterprise goodwill and applied the personal goodwill framework articulated in Moore.
