Syllabus

Appellant-mother lacks standing to claim that father was not properly served with notice of the permanent custody hearing where appellant fails to establish how she was prejudiced by the alleged service error. Appellant also lacks standing to challenge the trial court's judgment denying her maternal aunt's third-party motion for legal custody. The trial court's judgment granting permanent custody of appellant's children to a public children services agency is supported by sufficient evidence and is not against the manifest weight of the evidence. Judgment affirmed.
