Divorce and Separation 40%

As a family lawyer, I primarily deal with divorce and separation cases. Child custody, child support, visitation, equitable division of assets and alimony are all issues that typically arise with my divorce and separation cases.

Compassionate Attorney

Whitney did an awesome job representing me with a hideous custody case. She knew how to handle my case from ever different angle. She was angry and firm when I was angry, she was compassionate when I was upset and she was positive when I was doubtful!! She is an awesome attorney who ended up bein...g a dear friend!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER!

MOST DEDICATED ATTORNEY IN SC!

Ms. Thwaites represented me in divorce proceedings that were extremely hard and bothersome. She was available to me any time I needed her and by the time we were finished I felt like she was more like family than anything. I am extremely blessed to have met her and had her represent me. She is amazi...ng, extremely intelligent and her tenacity and dedication is off the charts.

Best lawyer hands down

Whitney is an awesome lawyer. When I was first charged I was terrified and had a million questions! She was able to answer every single one of them and make me understand that this was not the end of my life. She asked me what I wanted out of this and she got me exactly what I wanted. I’m forever gra...teful for her. She’s not just my lawyer but definitely my go to when I’m needing life questions asked. I’m sad to see her move but I would highly recommend her! Once again thank you for everything Whitney.

Advice and Support on Divorce Issues

Reviewed divorce decree, advised on child support issues, contacted original attorney on the case, and helped with settlement to keep me from going to jail. Continue to keep Attorney Thwaites updated and she continues to counsel me to ensure that I am on track with the decree.

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
