We affirm pursuant to Rule 220(b)(2), SCACR, and the following authorities: Haselden v. Haselden, 347 S.C. 48, 63, 552 S.E.2d 329, 337 (Ct. App. 2001) (defining contempt); Smith-Cooper v. Cooper, 344 S.C. 289, 300, 543 S.E.2d 271, 277 (Ct. App. 2001) (defining willful conduct); and Henderson v. Henderson, 298 S.C. 190, 197, 379 S.E.2d 125, 129 (1989) (holding that a finding of contempt is within the sound discretion of the family court judge). We find the issue of subject matter jurisdiction not properly before this court because it is the subject of another appeal currently pending before this court. AFFIRMED.[1] ANDERSON, HUFF, and WILLIAMS, JJ., concur. [1] We decide this case without oral argument pursuant to Rule 215, SCACR.
