Syllabus

APPELLATE REVIEW - CHILDREN - CUSTODY - FINAL ORDER - JURISDICTION: The juvenile court's judgment was a final order because it clearly set forth the parties' responsibilities and obligations where (1) the juvenile court signed the magistrate's decision during the objections period, adopted it and entered it as a judgment of the court, which became final when the objections were overruled and (2) the disposition was stated in the juvenile court's judgment entry, and the magistrate's decision was adopted and approved either procedure was sufficient to render the juvenile court's judgment a final order. The juvenile court's decision that granting legal custody of the child to her great-grandparents was in her best interest was supported by competent, credible evidence and was not arbitrary, unreasonable, or unconscionable.
