In South Carolina, the standard schedule will dictate that the non-custodial parents will receive the child every other weekend, from Friday to Sunday evening. They may also be entitled to have the child during the week for one evening, usually a Wednesday, until 8 pm. This, again, is every other week.

Older children can handle a week-on and week-off or a 2-2-5 schedule better than younger children. A 2-2-3 custody schedule works well for parents who have good flexibility during the week with their schedules. Otherwise, a 2-2-5 custody schedule may be better because each parent has fixed weekdays.

South Carolina mandates that a noncustodial parent receive a minimum amount of visitation unless that parent's parental rights have been terminated. Typically, a minimum visitation award will grant a parent one weeknight visit and overnight visits every other weekend.

Each inmate is provided with "Request for Visiting Privileges" forms (SCDC Form 19-127) to send to his/her prospective visitors. The only way for an individual to receive a visiting privileges form is from the inmate who wants them to visit.
