Syllabus

The juvenile court did not abuse its discretion in overruling Mother's objection to the magistrate's decision to grant permanent custody of her child to a children services agency. Mother's objection was based solely on the magistrate's denial of a continuance when Mother failed to appear at the permanent custody hearing unexpectedly and without communication with her counsel or the court. The court reasonably weighed the competing factors of the child's best interest and the inconvenience to the parties and the court. Judgment affirmed.
