In South Carolina after the judge has signed divorce papers is there a time period before divorce is final?

In South Carolina, once a judge has signed the divorce papers, there is no mandatory waiting period for the divorce to be finalized. The divorce is considered final once the judge issues the final order, which typically occurs at the hearing where the judge reviews the terms of the divorce. However, if there are issues related to appeals or other legal matters, that could potentially delay the finalization.
