South Carolina Family Court: ‘Ring Around the Rosie’
When a custody case becomes a game for South Carolina’s most powerful politicians…

Why would a pro-life legislative lawmaker actively take on a case to remove a child from their mother? He also nominates the judiciary panel that nominates the judges; this sounds concerningly biased. Something is not adding up.
He is an attorney, who presumably will work for anybody that can afford to pay his rates. He is not limited to taking cases that fit only within a certain set of parameters that align with political positions he takes. Furthermore, you are only hearing one side of the story here. The father likely has a completely different view of what happened. Just because the mother is the one telling the story doesn’t mean that she’s right.
If you were a real lawyer, and your syntax does give you away, you might have a clue.
Child barely 6 months old and the wealthy alleged and odd looking power freak Jewish father merely wants control. In my opinion, he doesn’t seem to be fit.
Who cares about the father?!
I hope Smith is going to further expose his hypocrisy. He can be bought to the highest bidder.
Both look like wimps (Smith and the father).
Will is more of a man and a real father then the two put together.
We might only have the mother’s side, however the father must be someone “important” in order for the good ole boy system to be doing all they are!
I don’t care what anyone thinks nor says about this. There is a very serious conflict of interest with State Representices Murrell Smith’s involvement. He should know better. But I have dealt with dirty unethical lawyers before, some should be prison. Having a JD does not make you trustworthy as one night think
Two SC family court lawyers were exposed and blasted behind the scenes for outright lying and even removing files from the clerks office. They can still be criminally charged to this day.
So sick of this corrupt system!
This is all the article is about.
You have a loving Mom, who wanted this child. A supportive family in South Carolina. I do not know, because the article does not say, if the bio father wanted the child. Sound like some Man just trying to avoid child support. Probably has a lot of money. I feel sorry for the child and the Mom. Judicial harrassment is becoming acceptable in the US. He who has more money wins.
There is no Court of Appeals decision on her case in March 2026 (or that I could find at any time). She’s either grossly ignorant of legal procedures or lying.
You are truly a product of public school education in South Carolina. Cases that involve minors are protected.
Obviously, Will would’ve done his research before publishing something with no merit.
They made the decision – we are trying to get the mother to post all of the filings onto a docket for all to see.
Both look like wimps (Smith and the father).

It’s an unpublished decision. 2026-UP-148. Easy to find if you know how to look.
Why so angry????? There is a non published order issued by the SC Court of Appeals written about 4 weeks ago.
Why do you bury lawyers 10ft deep instead of 6?
Because deep down, they really are good people.
The reason this is newsworthy is it is a rare instance of a mother losing in family court. In almost every case, the father comes in already behind and judges often give preferential treatment to the mother.
I’m well aware that the law says 50/50 is the starting point but it rarely works out that way, with the father both losing custody and paying child support. Fathers are often faced with the choice of spending tens of thousands of dollars they may not have to fight for their children and still stand a good chance of losing.
Whenever family court begins to see fathers as co-parents instead of ATMs with limited custody rights, the system can begin to focus on fairness.
@Joseph Jeter – That is not why it’s important.
What is important – is from the author (me):
1. Why did parts of my case go missing?
2. Why did the envelope with the proposed order completely bypass the clerks office to be directed specifically to Judge Seigler‘s desk?
3. How can you say that someone committed judicial misconduct when all of the New York documentation is in the first 24 pages of the filing which means that the court was not only aware was in full receipt of all of the filings?
4. How did I win every motion? I provided texts, audio recording, proof of my residency in South Carolina, yet I’m being sent back after leaving a relationship which resulted in my doctor giving me an alias at the hospital?
5. Could the guy who nominates the panel who nominates the judges have influenced the court in the face of superfluous fact?
