Heading: The Propriety of the Chancellor's Award of $240 per Month Child Support, Health Insurance, and One Half the Cost of Private School Tuition.

Text: ¶ 60. Jane was ordered to pay $240 per month in child support, to add Catherine to her employer-provided health insurance plans, to pay one-half of any uncovered medical expenses, and to pay one-half of the tuition and expenses for sending Catherine to T.I.L. She argues that this award was made in error because the $240 per month child support award exceeds the 14% statutory figure, in light of her testimony that she made roughly $1,600 per month, as 14% of $1,600 yields a figure of $224. She also claims it is unfair to make her pay one-half of the costs associated with sending Catherine to T.I.L. because adding those costs to the $240 per month in child support easily constitutes one-half of her monthly income. ¶ 61. While Jane complains about the amount of money that the chancellor has required her to pay to help support Catherine, she has failed to cite any case law or statutory authority to show just how the chancellor erred in making his ruling. As Jane has failed to cite any authority, let alone any relevant authority, we find that Jane is procedurally barred from raising this issue on appeal. See Touchstone v. Touchstone, 682 So.2d 374, 380 (Miss. 1996); Ellis v. Ellis, 651 So.2d 1068, 1073 (Miss.1995) (procedurally barring appellant from having merits of issue considered on appeal for failure to cite to any authority).
