Syllabus

A trial court does not abuse its discretion in failing to grant a continuance to a mother contesting a permanent custody motion to permit her time to be released from prison and work her case plan where the case had been ongoing for several years, been subject to many prior continuances sought and granted, and the mother had already had a significant opportunity to complete her case plan but had essentially failed even to start it. Under such circumstances, and with foster parents willing to adopt the children who were thriving in their care, it was not against the manifest weight of the evidence to grant permanent custody to FCCS.
