Syllabus

The trial court did not abuse its discretion or violate mother's due process rights when it held the permanent custody hearing concerning her child in her absence due to her incarceration. Nor did the court abuse its discretion or violate mother's due process rights when it denied her motion to continue the permanent custody hearing. The trial court did not abuse its discretion or violate mother's due process rights when it denied her motions for legal custody to a relative or a nonrelative because, among other reasons, neither proposed legal custodian signed a statement of understanding for legal custody that contained the statutorily required provisions of R.C. 2151.353(A)(3)(a) through (d).
