In Re A.j.l.h., C.a.l.w., M.j.l.h.

Summary

The Court reversed the Court of Appeals and remanded directly to the trial court, holding that the trial court did not abuse its discretion by denying respondent-mother visitation. The Court held that dispositional findings are reviewed for competent evidentiary support and that the trial court’s best-interests determination regarding visitation is reviewed solely for abuse of discretion. It also held that hearsay may be considered in a disposition hearing, that the Court of Appeals improperly raised an unpreserved constitutional issue, and that no additional parent-specific findings were required.
