Families on both sides of the state line
Parents in Fort Mill and Tega Cay often work in Charlotte, and many York County children have a parent living in Mecklenburg County. Which court should decide custody generally turns on the child’s home state under the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act. Divorce, property, and support have their own rules. A mediator does not give legal advice, so talk to a licensed attorney in the right state about jurisdiction. Mediation can help parents agree on a schedule, transportation, and school decisions no matter which court eventually approves the agreement. Read our guide to custody across state lines.
