My question involves a child custody case from the State of: South Carolina

My best friend and his wife have a 10-month old son, who they have both been caring for since his birth. They have been married for a while, but my friend is not happy and wants to ask for a divorce. He also wants to try and get custody of their son, and feels that he would the better caretaker because of her current unemployment status and his earnings of over 100K a year.

The problem is that he wants to move out of state, to try for a job in a better place than where they are now, where there would also be better educational opportunities for their son. However, he knows that there are restrictions with doing so for a certain time after he has filed.

Does anyone know anything more about this in SC, or has known anyone who has been in this situation?

Thanks.
