C.S., Jr. v. State of Indiana Z.T. v. State of Indiana

Summary

The Indiana Supreme Court held that Administrative Rule 14(B) governs remote participation in juvenile disposition-modification hearings and that the trial court violated the rule by permitting the juveniles to appear by Skype without written consent or a good-cause finding. Because the juveniles did not object and failed to establish fundamental error, the court held that the issue was waived and affirmed the trial court’s orders. The court also provided guidance on documenting consent or good cause and encouraged timely objections.
