Crystal: ...

I have been seperated from my spouse for over one year and he still has personal property in my garage that he has yet to claim or remove. I am waiting on a Court date to finalize my divorce and I was curious as to whether I can remove/sell the items he left behind. I was hoping to make some form of profit to help pay for some of his back child support of over $3,000. Is it true that in the state of SC any personal property left abandoned after 30 days becomes forfeited and I can do what I wish with it?
