CHILDREN – PERMANENT CUSTODY – BEST INTEREST – R.C. 2151.414: The juvenile court did not abuse its discretion by denying mother's motion for a continuance where mother sought to give a relative time to file a custody petition, because no custody petition had been filed, a home study was incomplete, and the relative failed a prior home study for noncompliance. The juvenile court did not err in determining that permanent custody was in the best interest of J.H. where he could not be placed with either of his parents within a reasonable time due to factors in R.C. 2151.414(E), and the court's best-interest analysis was well-supported by the record.
