  • 2018 Ohio 798
  • 106 N.E.3d 794

Syllabus

The juvenile court's decision to order appellant to submit to hair follicle drug testing was proper where the record indicates there was a reasonable suspicion that appellant may have been using drugs, thereby necessitating appellant to undergo drug testing to ensure the best interest of their daughter was being met. In addition, the juvenile court's decision to terminate a shared parenting plan and grant appellee custody of their daughter was in their daughter's best interest given appellant's admitted prior drug use and presence at a house where law enforcement had recently executed a search warrant and arrested several people for possession of drugs.
