Unpublished Opinion No. 2009-UP-590

Submitted December 1, 2009 – Filed
December 14, 2009   

AFFIRMED

Percival Dimen Teruel, pro se, of Myrtle
Beach, for Appellant.

Deborah Harrison Sheffield, of Columbia,
for Respondent.

PER CURIAM: In this domestic action, Percival Dimen Teruel (Husband) appeals the family court's final decree of
divorce.  According to Teruel, the family court erred in: (1) denying his
motion for a continuance; (2) finding Elaine Teruel (Wife) did not disclose an
individual banking account; (3) awarding Wife custody of their minor children;
(4) ordering him to pay child support arrearages; (5) determining the amount of
child support; (6) finding the marital home was not subject to distribution;
(7) finding Wife's interest in the Teruel-Arakas Family, LLC was not subject to
distribution; (8) finding Wife's interest in the National House of Pancakes was
not subject to distribution; (9) denying Husband's request for alimony; (10)
not ruling on whether Wife's stocks and bonds were subject to equitable
distribution; and (11) concluding Wife was entitled to a divorce on the ground
of one year of continuous separation.  Additionally, Husband asserts there are
discrepancies in the trial transcript. We affirm[1] pursuant to Rule 220(b), SCACR, and the following authority: In re Care and
Treatment of McCracken, 346 S.C. 87, 93, 551 S.E.2d 235, 239 (2001) ("A
bald assertion, without supporting argument, does not preserve an issue for
appeal.").

AFFIRMED.

HUFF, J.,
GEATHERS, J., and CURETON, A.J., concur.

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