THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA In The Court of Appeals

Bobbie Earp, Respondent,

v.

Sean Perritte, Appellant.

Appellate Case No. 2011-204626

Appeal From Berkeley County Jack A. Landis, Family Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2012-UP-605 Submitted October 26, 2012 – Filed November 7, 2012

AFFIRMED

Merrill A. Cox, of Cox Law Firm, of Goose Creek, for Appellant.

Bobbie Earp, pro se, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM: Sean Perritte appeals the family court's denial of his motion in reference to bankruptcy. Perritte argues an automatic stay in a Chapter 13 bankruptcy bars the continuation of an order of incarceration for civil contempt for failure to pay child support. We affirm pursuant to Rule 220(b)(1), SCACR, and the following authorities: King v. King, 384 S.C. 134, 142, 681 S.E.2d 609, 614

(Ct. App. 2009) (holding issues must be raised to and ruled upon by the family court to be preserved for appellate review); Bodkin v. Bodkin, 388 S.C. 203, 219, 694 S.E.2d 230, 239 (Ct. App. 2010) (holding when the family court fails to rule on an issue presented, the issue must be raised in a Rule 59(e), SCRCP, motion to be preserved for review).

AFFIRMED.1

SHORT, KONDUROS, and LOCKEMY, JJ., concur.

1 We decide this case without oral argument pursuant to Rule 215, SCACR.
