Heading: The $411,000.00 Loan, Death Benefit Agreement, and Attorneys Fees

Text: ¶ 32. Debbie argues that in erroneously finding the property settlement agreement unenforceable, the chancellor consequently failed to address property settlement agreement-related issues including whether, under the property settlement agreement, Debbie was entitled to a portion of the $411,000.00 in loans from West Quality to Tim, whether Tim breached his obligation to Debbie under a pre-divorce death benefit agreement, and whether Debbie was entitled to attorneys fees on her contempt action and for fees she incurred on appeal. ¶ 33. In Mississippi, an appellant is not entitled to raise a new issue on appeal, since to do so prevents the trial court from having an opportunity to address the alleged error. Crowe v. Smith, 603 So.2d 301, 305 (Miss.1992). We decline to rule on issues the trial court has not addressed and abstain from any discussion regarding the death benefit agreement or attorneys fees. However, we later discuss the issue of the $411,000.00 loan from West Quality to Tim in conjunction with our discussion of the chancellor's grant of the Motion to Quash the subpoenas duces tecum served by Debbie.
