In The Court of Appeals
SCDSS and Susan Wilkey, Respondents,
v.
Samuel Heyward, Jr., Appellant.
Appellate Case No. 2011-204207
Appeal From Berkeley County
Jack A. Landis, Family Court Judge
Unpublished Opinion No. 2012-UP-604
Submitted October 26, 2012 – Filed November 7, 2012
AFFIRMED
Merrill A. Cox, of Cox Law Firm, of Goose Creek, for
Appellant.
Paul F. LeBarron, of the South Carolina Department of
Social Services, of Charleston, for Respondents.
PER CURIAM: Samuel Heyward, Jr., appeals the family court's denial of his
motion in reference to bankruptcy. Heyward 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.

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