TEMPORARY CUSTODY – CHILDREN – DUE PROCESS – R.C. 2151.419 – R.C. 2151.353 – JUV.R. 40: The juvenile court did not deprive parents of their fundamental right to raise their children when it granted temporary custody to the Hamilton County Department of Job and Family Services (\HCJFS\) and the record included some evidence that this disposition furthered the welfare of the children. The juvenile court did not err by finding that HCJFS made reasonable efforts towards reunification where HCJFS's case plans intended to address the concerns that justified removal of the children from the parents' custody. The juvenile court did not violate Juv.R. 40(D)(4)(d) when it refused to hear evidence of communications that occurred between counsel that arose between the filing of the objections to the magistrate's decision and the hearing on those objections.
