Andrea Leigh Taylor v. Thomas Roy Taylor, Jr.
Mississippi Supreme Court
1Opinion of the Court
MAXWELL, JUSTICE,
FOR THE COURT:
¶1. For this Court to consider an issue, a party must first present his or her claimed error to the court below. When a party fails to do so, he or she is barred from raising that issue on appeal. In this appeal, the appellant claims the chancellor committed error by awarding a child-support judgment to her son—a nonparty. Because this lone appellate issue was never raised in chancery court during trial or in post-trial motions, it is not properly before this Court and is barred from our review. We thus affirm.
