1. “While [Lee] did timely file two post-trial motions, he did not raise the same issues he now seeks to advance on appeal. [Lee]’s initial pro se motion to vacate the judgment offered only an explanation for his failure to appear and a request that the court vacate the divorce judgment. It was followed by a Rule 59 motion, filed with the assistance of counsel, that proffered evidence to contest the chancellor’s awards of child support and equitable division. With a few exceptions, neither of these motions attacked the evidence presented at the trial or the chancellor’s findings of fact, as [Lee] now seeks to do on appeal.... [Lee] has not attempted to show that his post-trial motions should have been granted, and on appeal he appears to have abandoned the contentions made there. The record reveals no basis for this Court to conclude the chancellor abused his discretion in denying [Lee]’s post-trial motions.”
