Legal Question in Family Law in South Carolina

I have a custody agreement and specifically says no overnight guests in the presence of the children. My ex-wife has broken this agreement on more than one occasion in the past few months, is this a criminal offense in the state of SC, and do I have a case to try to get custody of my children?

It's not a crime. However, it can serve as a basis for a contempt action, and/or it can serve as a basis to seek a change of custody.

These are complex issues, and it is important that they be handled correctly. Therefore, it is important that you consult an experienced family law attorney to find out what options are available to you based on the facts of your particular case.
