    AFFIRMED
    Wendell Brown, pro se, for Appellant.
    David Christopher Shea, of the Law Offices of Shea and
    Barron, of Columbia, for Respondent.
    PER CURIAM: Wendell Brown argues the family court erred in finding him in
    willful contempt for failing to pay Desiree Brown (Wife) her interest in the marital
    residence and ordering him to pay Wife's attorney's fees. We affirm pursuant
    to Rule 220(b), SCACR, and the following authorities: Frye v. Frye, 
    323 S.C. 72
    ,
    75-76, 
    448 S.E.2d 586
    , 588 (Ct. App. 1994) (finding the issue of the father's
    contempt moot when the father complied with the contempt order by paying
    certain medical bills); Jordan v. Harrison, 
    303 S.C. 522
    , 524, 
    402 S.E.2d 188
    , 189
    (Ct. App. 1991) (finding the issue of the husband's contempt moot when the
    husband complied with the contempt order by paying his child support arrearages
    and a fine); and Chappell v. Chappell, 
    282 S.C. 376
    , 377, 
    318 S.E.2d 590
    , 591 (Ct.
    App. 1984) ("Where one held in contempt for violation of a court order complies
    with the order, his compliance renders the question concerning whether he was in
    contempt academic or moot and precludes appellate review of the contempt
    proceedings." (citations omitted)).
    AFFIRMED.
    WILLIAMS, GEATHERS, and McDONALD, JJ., concur.
