In re J.W.

Citations

  • 2020 Ohio 322

Syllabus

The juvenile court did not abuse its discretion by denying appellant's motion for a continuance where the juvenile court properly determined that there was no just reason for delaying a dispositional hearing scheduled in a legal custody proceeding any further when considering such delay would not be in the child's best interest. The juvenile court's decision granting legal custody of a child to a nonrelative was also supported by sufficient evidence and not against the manifest weight of the evidence where the child's best interests were served by placing the child in the nonrelative's legal custody.

Judges: S. Powell
