Syllabus

Legal custody best interest of the children Juv.R. 23 and Loc.R. 35(C) of the Court of Common Pleas of Cuyahoga County, Juvenile Division motion to continue hearing. After being granted a continuance for a full hearing, Mother's second request for a continuance was denied. Mother alleged a medical emergency, however, Mother failed to provide documentation of the emergency room visit, and she later admitted that she had not been in the emergency room. The trial court did not abuse its discretion where it denied Mother's second request for a continuance. The trial court enumerated numerous factors concerning Mother that were in direct contradiction to the best interest of the children. It was not an abuse of discretion where the trial court granted legal custody of the children to their respective fathers.
