     Family Court cases in South Carolina are typically initiated with the filing of a Summons, Complaint, and Notice of Motion and Motion for Temporary Relief.  These filings present one certain deadline, and possibly a court date.  The certain deadline relates to the Summons.  A summons instructs the recepient to answer the allegations of the complaint within 30 days of service.  See generally, Family Court Rule regarding answering complaint & Civil Court Rule that applies, in part, to Family Court Actions.      The possible court date that may be included with the initial filing is a Temporary Hearing notice.  See generally, Family Court Rule regarding Temporary Hearings, Family Court Rule regarding Financial Declarations, and South Carolina Supreme Court Order with additional rules for Temporary Hearings.      The assistance of a skilled family court attorney should be sought.  If a party is unable to obtain an attorney before the Temporary Hearing, the Judge may consider continuing the hearing for a short period to allow a party to retain counsel.  A continuance should not be expected.
