South Carolina Statutes
§ 63-15-400 — Decisions on guardianship, custody, or visitation not to be based solely on person's blindness.
In making decisions on guardianship, custody, or visitation where a party to the action is blind, the court may not deny the party guardianship, custody, or visitation of a child solely because the party is blind. The blindness of a party only must be used to determine whether or not granting guardianship, custody, or visitation to the party would be in the best interest of the child.
