Legal custody exclusion of evidence abuse of discretion best interests of children standard of review of order of visitation. In determining custody of the children, the juvenile court did not abuse its discretion in precluding appellant's testimony where appellant was unable to make a knowing, intelligent, or voluntary waiver of her right not to testify. The juvenile court further considered the necessary factors in determining that the children's best interests were met by awarding custody to A.A. and that determination was not against the manifest weight of the evidence. Under the totality of the circumstances, an order of supervised visitation for appellant and the children was appropriate and not an abuse of discretion.
