Syllabus

Permanent custody; best interest; clear and convincing evidence; manifest weight of the evidence; continuance; case plan; reunification. Juvenile court's judgment granting permanent custody of child to Cuyahoga County Division of Children and Family Services (\CCDCFS\) was supported by the manifest weight of the evidence where Mother made no effort to comply with the agency's case plan for reunification. Juvenile court's denial of Mother's day-of-trial motion for continuance was not an abuse of discretion where Mother failed to provide a legitimate reason for the requested continuance, Mother had not engaged in agency services, and the continuance would have inconvenienced many other individuals and the court.
