Where to Find Help

UPDATED December 26, 2008

Before your order of protection can take effect, you must have your papers served to the abuser. Contact the clerk of the court in the family court in your county to find out where you should get your papers served. For a list of South Carolina courts, check the Courthouse Locations page on our site.

Usually, you get your papers served at your local Sheriff Department. Listed below are telephone numbers and addresses for Sheriff Departments in South Carolina.
