Hello

My spouse wants to divorce me. We've been married three years. I quit my job and moved halfway across the country for his new job two years ago. We bought a house. I have a job now, but my spouse makes about twice as much as I do and I can't pay for the house alone. If my spouse moves out now we can get divorced one year from now. Will the fact that I moved all the way here for him or that he makes so much more than I do matter in court?

Thanks

Probably not at all. I assume you're speaking of a legal separation leading to grounds for divorce in a year. You may be able to get temporary maintenance towards the home during the process, perhaps a bit longer. Your best bet is to discuss these options with an attorney.

An excerpt from an SC law site:
If a party cannot prove any of the above-listed divorce grounds, he/she may still seek a legal separation, which is called Separate Maintenance in South Carolina. In an action for Separate Maintenance, the Court can still address many issues on a permanent basis, such as asset/debt distribution, alimony and spousal support, child custody, child support, and visitation, etc. However, the key difference between a divorce and a legal separation is that the parties are still married, but their relationship with is legally and specifically defined.
