Back To All Appeals

Abbas-Ghaleb v. Ghaleb

Abbas-Ghaleb v. Ghaleb, 444 S.C. 245, 907 S.E.2d 105 (Ct. App. 2024) is a published October 2024 opinion from the Court of Appeals. I represented Ms. Ghaleb at trial. When her husband appealed, we cross-appealed.

The appeals addressed custody, equitable distribution, and attorney’s fees.  The Court of Appeals affirmed the award of primary physical custody to my client but did not reduce Dr. Abbas-Ghaleb’s visitation or grant my client final decision making on medical issues. It rejected all of his claims on equitable distribution but granted all my client’s claims on equitable distribution.  It affirmed the award of $40,000 in attorney’s fees to my client and granted her additional fees for defending Dr. Abbas-Ghaleb’s motion for reconsideration.  Especially given that my client was the Respondent-Appellant, I was extremely happy with these results.
