Syllabus

Custody action; R.C. 2151.23(A)(2); genetic testing; R.C. 3111.09; parentage action; final and appealable order. Judgment affirmed. The juvenile court's denial of the appellant's request for court-ordered genetic testing was a final, appealable order because it affected a substantial right in the action, determined the issue of genetic testing, and prevented a judgment for appellant. The trial court did not err by denying appellant's request for court-ordered genetic testing. Genetic testing is provided for under R.C. 3111.09 in parentage actions, not custody actions. Appellant initiated this case as a custody action under R.C. 2151.23(A)(2).
