UNPUBLISHED OPINION
Submitted October 26, 2012
Appeal From Berkeley County Jack A. Landis, Family Court Judge
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).
We decide this case without oral argument pursuant to Rule 215, SCACR.
SHORT, KONDUROS, and LOCKEMY, JJ., concur.
