Terry v. Terry

William E. Terry, Jr., appeals from a family court order holding him in contempt for failing to vacate the parties’ marital residence as required under the temporary order. The appeal is manifestly without merit, and we affirm pursuant to Rule 220, SCACR. Because Appellant erroneously believed that the filing and service of a notice of appeal from the family court’s temporary order divested the family court of jurisdiction from considering the contempt matter, we elect to address and clarify the effect of an attempted appeal from a family court temporary order.
