ORDER – INACTIVATION OF SUPPORT ACCOUNT
I find that Family Court Rule 24 requires the Clerk of Court to conduct a monthly review of all support
accounts paid through the court, and directs the Clerk to issue a Rule to Show Cause against every obligor more
than five (5) working days in arrears; and,
I further find that the issuance of a Rule to Show Cause in this case would serve no useful purpose
because _______________________, the obligor/obligee, cannot be located and ___________________.
THEREFORE, IT IS SO ORDERED that the above-captioned case be placed in inactive status because
the obligor’s/obligee’s whereabouts are unknown and the Clerk is hereby excused from monitoring and
enforcing this case pursuant to Family Court Rule 24.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, that the Clerk of Court shall serve a copy of this order upon the
obligor/obligee by first class mail. A case removed from active status may be restored upon filing of an
Affidavit and Order (SCCA 450) with the Clerk of Court stating the current address of the obligor/obligee
within the State of South Carolina.
