South Carolina Children's Code Moves to Title 63

The South Carolina Children's Code has moved to its new home in Title 63; the South Carolina Adoption Act's new home is in Chapter 9 of Title 63. Because the South Carolina Children's Code has moved from Title 20 to Title 63, the South Carolina Judicial Department has provided a conversion table to help practitioners and laymen alike maneuver between the old code sections and the new code sections; this conversion table is very useful to those who are researching pre-conversion case law.

J. Benjamin Stevens of the South Carolina Family Law Blog posted a brief explanation of why the legislators moved the Children's Code to it new home by itself in Title 63.
