Syllabus

CHILDREN – CUSTODY – APPELLATE REVIEW/CIVIL: The juvenile court did not err in adopting the magistrate's decision awarding legal custody of the couple's child to father where mother failed to timely file with the trial court transcripts of the proceedings before the magistrate: the appellate court is precluded from reviewing the transcripts on appeal, and therefore mother cannot demonstrate the fact-finding errors of which she complains further, where mother failed to object below to certain exhibits her hearsay challenge was limited on appeal to plain-error review, and she failed to demonstrate prejudice. [See SEPARATE CONCURRENCE: Where mother failed to file with the trial court a transcript of the proceedings before the magistrate, the appellate court must presume the regularity of the proceedings below with respect to any challenged factual findings and with respect to mother's hearsay challenge to certain exhibits.]
