Syllabus

Termination of parental rights; continuance; effective assistance of counsel. - Trial court did not abuse its discretion in denying parent's day-of-trial request for a continuance to allow a relative to seek legal custody of the children. Counsel was not deficient for failing to file a written request to continue, nor has parent demonstrated prejudice.
