Syllabus

The trial court did not err by considering the guardian ad litem's reports and testimony when making its legal custody determination. The trial court's finding that appellant-father is an unsuitable custodian is not against the manifest weight of the evidence. The trial court did not abuse its discretion by concluding that it was in the best interest of appellant's son to grant legal custody of the child to Maternal Grandfather and his wife. The invited error doctrine precludes appellant's claim that the trial court improperly engaged in an extrajudicial investigation for court documents and should not have admitted those records into evidence. Judgment affirmed.
