It looks a bit like you would have to hold he case where she lives. Also looks like you don't need an attorney, but can have one.
Here is a listing of free legal resources in your state that can hopefully give you some advice: http://lawhelp.org/SC/StateDirectory.cfm/County/%20/City/%20/demoMode/%3D%201/Language/1/State/SC/TextOnly/N/ZipCode/%20/LoggedIn/0/directory/all/searchletters/byname
Furthermore, there are many lawyers who will give you a free consultation. Look around in the phone book, that's probably a good start.
I feel that you should pursue this at least to the point of knowing exactly what your options are. It may be that the time, expense and hassle of actually taking legal action is too high to warrant doing so (but who knows, maybe not), but I think you'll feel better if you at least learn about your legal options.
