HALL, J.
{¶ 1} R.P. (Father) and S.P. (Mother) appeal separately from the trial court’s
-2-
judgment entry terminating their parental rights and awarding appellee Montgomery
Country Children Services (MCCS) permanent custody of their child R.P.1
{¶ 2} In two related assignments of error, Father claims the trial court’s findings
regarding the best interest of the child being served by awarding MCCS permanent
custody are against the weight of the evidence. In her sole assignment of error, Mother
likewise contends the trial court’s best-interest findings are against the weight of the
evidence.
{¶ 3} The record reflects that MCCS initially became involved in February 2011
after receiving a referral involving allegations of neglect. Specifically, MCCS received
information that R.P., who was born in 2009, and another child in Father and Mother’s
home were dirty, smelled of urine, and had bedbugs and lice. (Tr. at 20). At that time,
caseworker Cheryl Larcom observed filthiness in the home, roaches in the kitchen, and
a hazardous hole in the ceiling. (Id. at 22). The home’s yard was strewn with trash and
debris. (Id.). Larcom discussed the situation with Father and Mother and provided case-
management and referral services. (Id. at 24). Although no children were removed from
the home on that occasion, Larcom filed a March 2011 dependency complaint with regard
to R.P.2 (Doc. #159).
{¶ 4} In July 2011, the trial court adjudicated R.P. dependent. (Doc. #144). MCCS
subsequently obtained interim temporary custody in May 2012, and R.P. was placed in
1 We note that Father and the child at issue have the same initials. For purposes of our
analysis herein, we will use the initials R.P. only when referring to the child. We will refer
to the child’s parents as “Father” and “Mother.”
2Although Mother has other children, they are not the subject of the present appeal,
which concerns only the trial court’s permanent custody decision regarding R.P.
-3-
foster care. (Doc. #133). The trial court made this disposition based, in part, on its finding
that the child’s home lacked running water and remained “filthy” and “unsanitary.” (Id.).
Thereafter, in August 2012, the trial court issued a full temporary custody order in favor
of MCCS. (Doc. #117). The trial court extended that award of temporary custody in June
2013 and in April 2014 to allow Father and Mother to work on their case plans. (Doc. #54,
96).
{¶ 5} On April 29, 2014, MCCS moved for permanent custody of R.P. (Doc. #56).
A magistrate held an August 8, 2014 hearing on that motion after the second extension
of temporary custody expired. At the hearing, the magistrate heard testimony from Father,
Mother, Father’s probation officer, three MCCS case workers, and a court-appointed
psychologist who had evaluated Father and Mother. The magistrate also heard from
R.P.’s guardian ad litem. Based on the evidence presented, the magistrate filed an
October 9, 2014 decision awarding MCCS permanent custody. (Doc. #24). Father and
Mother separately filed objections and supplemental objections. (Doc. # 8, 10, 21, 23).
On June 16, 2015, the trial court overruled the objections. It also found that R.P. had been
in MCCS’ custody for more than 12 months of a consecutive 22-month period, that Father
and Mother had not completed their case-plan objectives, and that an award of permanent
custody to MCCS was in the child’s best interest. (Doc. # 5). This expedited appeal by
Father and Mother followed.
{¶ 6} A trial court’s decision to grant permanent custody and to terminate parental
rights must be supported by clear and convincing evidence. In re L.C., 2d Dist. Clark No.
2010 CA 90, 2011-Ohio-2066, ¶ 14. We apply an abuse-of-discretion standard, and we
will not disturb such a decision on evidentiary grounds “if the record contains competent,
-4-
credible evidence by which the court could have formed a firm belief or conviction that the
essential statutory elements for a termination of parental rights have been established.”
(Citation omitted). Id.; see also In re S.S., 2d Dist. Miami No. 2011-CA-07, 2011-Ohio-
5697, ¶ 7. The phrase “abuse of discretion” implies a decision that is unreasonable,
arbitrary, or unconscionable. Id. Therefore, a trial court’s act of overruling a parent’s
objections and adopting a magistrate’s decision terminating parental rights cannot be
reversed based on a mere difference of opinion or substitution of our judgment for that of
the lower court. Id.
{¶ 7} Having identified our standard of review, we turn now to the substantive
issues before us. The standards governing permanent-custody motions are as follows:
R.C. 2151.414 establishes a two-part test for courts to apply when
determining a motion for permanent custody to a public services agency.
The statute requires the court to find, by clear and convincing evidence,
that: (1) granting permanent custody of the child to the agency is in the best
interest of the child; and (2) either the child (a) cannot be placed with either
parent within a reasonable period of time or should not be placed with either
parent if any one of the factors in R.C. 2151.414(E) are present; (b) is
abandoned; (c) is orphaned and no relatives are able to take permanent
custody of the child; or (d) has been in the temporary custody of one or
more public or private children services agencies for twelve or more months
of a consecutive twenty-two month period. * * *
R.C. 2151.414(D) directs the trial court to consider all relevant factors
when determining the best interest of the child, including but not limited to:
-5-
(1) the interaction and interrelationship of the child with the child’s parents,
relatives, foster parents and any other person who may significantly affect
the child; (2) the wishes of the child; (3) the custodial history of the child,
including whether the child has been in the temporary custody of one or
more public children services agencies or private child placing agencies for
twelve or more months of a consecutive twenty-two-month period; (4) the
child’s need for a legally secure permanent placement and whether that
type of placement can be achieved without a grant of permanent custody to
the agency; and (5) whether any of the factors in R.C. 2151.414(E)(7)
through (11) are applicable.
In re S.J., 2d Dist. Montgomery No. 25550, 2013-Ohio-2935, ¶ 14-15.
{¶ 8} Here the trial court made the findings required to award MCCS permanent
custody. Specifically, it found, among other things, that R.P. had been in the agency’s
temporary custody for more than 12 months of a consecutive 22-month period and that
an award of permanent custody to the agency was in the child’s best interest. On appeal,
neither Father nor Mother challenges the trial court’s “12 in 22” finding, which is supported
by the record. Therefore, the only remaining issue is whether the trial court’s best-interest
finding is supported by clear and convincing evidence. In re M.R., 2d Dist. Greene No.
2010 CA 64, 2011-Ohio-3733, ¶ 25. In its decision, the trial court made the following
findings with regard to each of the statutory best-interest factors:
* * * Pursuant to R.C. 2151.414(D)(1), to determine if it is in the best
interest of the child to permanently terminate parental rights and grant
permanent custody to MCCS, the Court shall consider all relevant factors,
-6-
including, but not limited to, the following:
a) The interaction and interrelationship of the child with the child’s
parents, siblings, relatives, foster caregivers and out-of-home providers,
and any other person who may significantly affect the child.
Angela Polla[r]d, the ongoing caseworker for the child from February
2011 to November 2012, and Kevin Foley, the current ongoing caseworker
from Montgomery County Children Services for the child, both testified that
the child appears to be bonded to his foster parents. (Tr. 62:9) Mr. Foley
also testified that both Mother and Father are fairly bonded with the child.
(Tr. 85:3; 126:4, 126:10) Dr. Rhonda Lilley, the psychologist who has
worked this case and evaluated the parents, agrees that the child is bonded
with his Mother. (Tr. 155:15) Finally, Father himself believes that he has a
strong bond with his son. (Tr. 271:22) Based on the foregoing, the Court
finds that this factor does not weigh in favor of granting permanent custody
to MCCS.
b) The wishes of the child, as expressed directly by the child or
through the child’s guardian ad litem, with regard for the maturity of this
child.
The child is too young to express an opinion as to custody.
c) The custodial history of the child.
The child was removed from the home and placed into the custody
of MCCS in May 2012. (Tr. 97:23) Since that time the child has remained in
the custody of MCCS. The parents have failed to take the appropriate action
-7-
to regain custody of their child for almost thirty-six months.
Based on the foregoing, the Court finds that this factor weighs in
favor of granting permanent custody to MCCS.
d) The child’s need for a legally secure permanent placement and
whether that type of placement can be achieved without granting permanent
custody to the Agency.
Interim Temporary Custody was granted to MCCS on May 9, 2012,
and Temporary Custody was granted to MCCS on August 21, 2012, due to
the condition of the parents’ home. On June 5, 2013, the first extension of
Temporary Custody was granted. The second extension of Temporary
Custody was granted orally in Court on April 15, 2014, and the Decision
docketed on April 29, 2014. Both available extensions of temporary custody
have been utilized. MCCS filed the most recent Motion and Affidavit for the
Commitment to the Permanent Custody of MCCS on April 29, 2014, and a
hearing on the Motion was held on August 8, 2014. On October 9, 2014, the
Magistrate’s Decision and Judge’s Order Granting the Motion for
Permanent Custody was filed by Magistrate Durden.
The child has spent a good portion of his life in the custody of MCCS
and over thirty-six months in foster care. Considering the length of time the
child has been removed from the home, and the fact that both extensions
of temporary custody have been granted, the Court finds that the child is in
desperate need of a legally secure, permanent placement. Mr. Rezabek,
GAL, recommended permanent custody to MCCS in his August 7, 2014,
-8-
Updated GAL Report to the Court.
As required by R.C. 2151.412, MCCS developed a case plan for both
Mother and Father. The most recent case plan was adopted by the Court
on April 29, 2014. Both Mother and Father, together with the child, were
included on the case plan. (Tr. 74:18) Ms. Polla[r]d and Mr. Foley each
reviewed and discussed the case plan with Mother and Father. (Tr. 34:23,
75:1, 88:17, 235:4) Neither Mother nor Father gave any indication to Ms.
Polla[r]d or Mr. Foley that they did not understand the case plan. (Tr. 35:1,
75:5, 88:2, 235:4) In fact, Mother herself specifically testified that she
reviewed the case plan with Mr. Foley, she understood what she was
required to do, and she underst[ood] that in order to be reunited with her
son that the housing needed to be acceptable. (Tr. 235:4)
The case plan objectives for Mother were as follows: maintain clean
and stable housing; maintain stable income; be involved in making sure that
there are hygiene supplies for the children; participate in parenting and
psych evaluation; and sign releases of information. (Tr. 75:9)
The objectives for Father were as follows: maintain clean and stable
housing; maintain verifiable proof of income; sign releases of information;
participate in parenting and psychological evaluation; and to be involved in
anger management.
Maintaining the dental needs of the child was not part of either
parent’s case plan. (Tr. 64:18)
Unfortunately, while there was progress made on the case plan, not
-9-
all the objectives were met by either parent. (Tr. 35:4)
The general concern of the agency was that they had not seen
enough of a stable consistency of the house being clean. (Tr. 79:9) MCCS
made it clear to the parents that the home needed to be clean and stable
for a minimum of six months before they could consider reunification with
the child. (Tr. 79:14)
Mother has failed to meet her case plan objectives. Mother has not
completed the objective of six months maintenance of a clean home. (Tr.
79:18) MCCS’s objective for Mother obtaining her own income was
necessary because MCCS wanted to be able to verify that Mother could
maintain the home beyond a reasonable period of time on her own. (Tr.
79:21). Mother has not provided a proof of income and it is unknown to
MCCS if Mother is currently employed. (Tr. 80:3, 80:6) Mother has provided
MCCS with documentation that she filed to incorporate a home preservation
business in June 2014. (Tr. 80:7) However, when Mr. Foley inquired as to
any income she has received, she indicated that she had not received any
income from any of the work she had done for the business. (Tr. 80:11) Mr.
Foley spoke with Mother repeatedly about going back to work or going to
the job center. (Tr. 80:22) Mother stated that she didn’t feel she was
physically able to work. (Tr. 80:24). Neither parent has followed up with any
of the income related referrals or recommendations. (Tr. 81:1).
Mother states that she has shampoo, conditioner, lotion, towels,
deodorant, and cologne waiting for her son’s return. (Tr. 214:5) Father
-10-
agrees, noting that they have a home and travel set of hygiene supplies for
the child. (Tr. 270; 16)
In January of 2013, Mother completed a parenting and psychological
evaluation. (Tr. 81:13) Mother has just recently begun to follow the
recommendation that she return to mental health counseling despite the
recommendation having been made several months ago. (Tr. 81:9) Mr.
Foley had made monthly referrals for Mother to follow through with Crisis
Care, to supply Day-Mont with her phone number, and to reengage with
mental health services each month. (Tr. 81:20). However, from January
2013 through July 2014, Mother had failed to re-engage. (Tr. 82:2)
Mother engaged in mental health treatment with Mahajan
Therapeutics in July of 2014. (Tr. 81:15) While progress has been made on
this objective, the objective is not complete. (Tr. 82:9)
Mother’s objective to sign releases of information is necessary so
that the Agency can communicate with providers and coordinate care and
make sure that compliance with care was followed through with properly.
(Tr. 82:12) Mother has failed to provide or sign all releases of information
as instructed. (Tr. 82:20) Mother has only provided two signed releases
throughout the course of this case. (Tr. 82:21). First, Mother signed a
release in April 2014 only after significant pressure from the Court. (Tr.
82:22) Then in July of 2014, Mother signed a release to allow MCCS to
speak with Mahajan Therapeutics. (Tr. 82:25)
Maintaining stable housing is necessary for re-unification because
-11-
there were significant concerns about keeping utilities in the home on,
keeping the child properly cleaned, and the dental care of the child. (Tr.
86:14). MCCS states that the parents need to reengage and demonstrate
that they can meet those needs on an ongoing basis. (Tr. 86:19) So far the
parents have been unable to demonstrate that they are ready to reunify with
the child. (Tr. 87:3) MCCS notes that Mother has taken a step in the right
direction with keeping the home cleaner. (Tr. 87:7) However, MCCS feels
that Mother would also need to maintain involvement with mental health
care to help her meet the physical, mental, and emotional needs of the child.
(Tr. 87:12) MCCS is also concerned about possible domestic violence in
the parents’ home. (Tr. 87:16). Mother had expressed concerns to the
child’s foster mother about domestic violence in the home against her by
Father. (Tr. 87:18) Specifically, instances in which Father prevented Mother
from going to the door to answer the knocks of the MCCS caseworker to
get entry into the home and allegations that Father had beat on Mother’s
back. (Tr. 87:21)
MCCS had two primary concerns before reunification was possible.
(Tr. 86:3) First, MCCS was concerned that they had not seen a stable
maintaining of the household such that the parents would be ready to begin
reunification with the child. (Id.). Additionally, MCCS was concerned
because Mother has not done a good job of following through with returning
to mental health counseling and addressing her issues. (Id.) Mother failed
to meet the two most important objectives. Mother failed to maintain clean
-12-
and stable housing, and failed to maintain a stable income. Mother did
secure hygiene supplies for the child, did participate in parenting and psych
evaluation, and did sign releases of information, albeit after significant
pressure from the Court. Mother simply has failed to fulfill her case plan
objectives.
Father has made minimal progress on his case plan objectives.
Father has made some progress on the anger management objective. (Tr.
89:16) Documentation received through a release from CADAS indicated
that Father was involved in treatment in 2009. (Tr. 89:18) However, there
has been no proof of any completion of any anger management course. (Tr.
89:20) While Father has worked very hard to maintain the utilities to the
home, he has been unable to keep all the utilities stable for the required six
month period of time. (Tr. 91:2) Father simply has not been able to maintain
the home for a six month period of time. (Tr. 95:7) In April 2014 MCCS
received documentation from February 2014 indicating Father was
employed by Safe Home Preservation Program and was earning a small
amount of money at a stable rate. (Tr. 92:23) However, no pay stubs have
been provided. (Tr. 92:3) The case plan objective for income is not
completed but in progress. (Tr. 92:18) Father has not followed through with
any recommendations concerning mental health counseling, and while he
did complete the parenting and psychological evaluations he failed to follow
through with any referrals or recommendations from the evaluation. (Tr.
92:22; 93:8) In regard to signing releases, Father has only signed one
-13-
release throughout the course of this case and that was accomplished after
court involvement. (Tr. 93:16) Regardless of how or when it was
accomplished, the objective in regard to signing releases has been
completed. (Tr. 93:24)
Father has failed to maintain clean and stable housing and has failed
to maintain verifiable proof of income[.] Father did sign releases for
information, did participate in parenting and psychological evaluations, and
was involved in anger management. Father has failed to achieve his case
plan objectives.
Based on the above, the Court finds that the child cannot and should
not be placed with Mother or Father within a reasonable period of time. In
light of the foregoing, the Court finds that a legally secure, permanent
placement cannot be achieved without granting permanent custody to
MCCS. Accordingly, the Court finds that this factor weighs heavily in favor
of granting permanent custody to MCCS.
e) Whether any of the factors in R.C. 2151.414(E)(7)-(11) apply in
relation to the parents and child.
None of the R.C. 2151.414(E)(7)-(11) factors apply in the present
case.
(Doc. #5 at 4-8).
{¶ 9} Based on the foregoing analysis, the trial court concluded:
After considering all relevant factors, the Court finds that permanent
custody to MCCS is in the best interest of the child. Neither Mother nor
-14-
Father have completed their case plan and neither are a suitable option for
custody of the child. While both parents seemed to make more of an effort
to work on their case plan objectives in the past few months, this is
unfortunately an example of too little, too late. All extensions of temporary
custody have been granted and the Court finds that the child is in desperate
need of a legally secure, permanent placement.
The Court finds that a legally secure, permanent placement for the
child cannot be achieved without granting permanent custody to MCCS. In
light of the foregoing, the Court finds that clear and convincing evidence
was presented showing that permanent custody to MCCS is in the best
interest of the [child].
(Id. at 8).
{¶ 10} On appeal, Father stresses that he is bonded with R.P. and that he visited
appropriately with the child while the case was pending below. (Father’s brief at 12).
Father further argues that he made many repairs to the parties’ home in the months prior
to the permanent-custody hearing. (Id. at 13-14). Father also asserts that he maintained
necessary utility service to the home in the six-month period preceding the hearing,
except for a temporary water shut off to repair broken pipes. (Id.). Although Vectren gas
service had not been re-established at the time of the hearing, Father argues that it was
not needed given the summer season and that he intended to convert the home to electric
heat in the future anyway. (Id. at 13-14). With regard to income, Father contends that he
can support R.P. though his employment as a handyman with Safe Home Preservation
Program. Finally, Father argues that he participated in parenting and psychological
-15-
evaluations, signed releases, and had been referred for anger-management treatment.
While conceding that he did not complete every case-plan objective, Father insists that
he made “remarkable progress” and that “[t]his should not be considered a too little too
late case[.]” (Id. at 15).
{¶ 11} As for Mother, she challenges the trial court’s analysis and weighing of the
statutory best-interest factors. Her primary focus, however, is on R.P.’s need for a legally
secure permanent placement and whether that type of placement can be achieved
without granting permanent custody to MCCS. (Mother’s brief at 14-15). On that issue,
Mother contends a legally secure placement can be made with her and Father. She
asserts that R.P. is well bonded with them, that their house is appropriate (and had been
appropriate for at least two months prior to the permanent custody hearing), and that she
“arguably substantially completed all of her case plan objectives.” (Id. at 14). Therefore,
she contends the evidence supports a finding that she and Father can care for R.P. (Id.).
{¶ 12} Upon review, we see no error in the trial court’s best-interest findings, which
are supported by clear and convincing evidence. The record reflects that Father and
Mother have a history of failing to provide suitable, sanitary living conditions. When MCCS
initially became involved, their home was described as “filthy” with cockroaches in the
kitchen and trash and debris strewn around the yard. (Tr. at 22). At that time, Mother
admitted having had problems with lice and bedbugs but claimed to have gotten rid of
them. (Id. at 21). Thereafter, Father and Mother moved to a different location. An MCCS
caseworker testified that that house was fine initially but “started to go downhill
progressively.” (Id. at 35). The caseworker described things such as no running water, a
toilet filled with feces and urine, moldy food, broken glass, and a strong odor inside the
-16-
home. (Id. at 36). Mother and Father later moved to their current home. Mother testified
that they had spent several months prior to the permanent-custody hearing renovating
that house. (Id. at 236). Father testified that his own father actually owned the house.
According to Father, he and Mother were living there rent free. (Id. at 260). Father
confirmed that he had performed major renovation work on the house. (Id. at 261).
{¶ 13} At the time of the permanent-custody hearing in August 2014, however,
caseworker Kevin Foley testified that their current house was cluttered and in need of
“constant cleaning” and that renovation work remained ongoing. (Id. at 78). Foley also
noted that shortly before the hearing, he had been denied access to the basement and
the upstairs rooms. (Id.). In Foley’s opinion, he “had not seen enough of a stable
consistency in terms of that house being clean.” (Id. at 79). We note too that Vectren gas
service remained shut off. When questioned about that issue, Mother acknowledged
having a delinquent Vectren bill. (Id. at 198). Although she and Father hoped to convert
to electric heat to avoid needing Vecten’s services for the upcoming winter, Mother
admitted that they had not bought all of the supplies to make the conversion because “it
takes money.” (Id. at 199). In addition, while electric service had been restored to the
home, Father acknowledged having an unpaid bill of $3,785 with the Dayton Power &
Light Company. (Id. at 265).
{¶ 14} With regard to income, the record reflects that Mother had started a home-
preservation business a few months before the permanent-custody hearing. (Id. at 80,
219). In her testimony, however, she was able to identify just one invoice for $710 that
had been sent out for work performed by her company. (Id. at 216). Net of expenses, she
anticipated receiving about $40. (Id. at 248-249). Her only other income consisted of $347
-17-
per month in food stamps. (Id. at 223, 256). Despite her limited income, Mother failed to
follow up with any job-related referrals or recommendations. (Id. at 80-81).
{¶ 15} As for Father, he provided documentation from February 2014 indicating
that he worked for the Safe Home Preservation Program (which apparently was unrelated
to Mother’s business). (Id. at 92). Thereafter, MCCS never was able to verify any income
for Father. (Id.). At the hearing, Father testified that he was a “general handyman” who
worked by the job. (Id. at 269-270). He stated that he did not receive pay stubs and that
any income he earned went directly into his bank account. (Id. at 270). Father explained
that he had not done any work for the Safe Home program for “a while,” however, because
he had been incarcerated. In fact, he had just been released from jail following his June
23, 2014 arrest for carrying a concealed weapon while on probation for prior offenses of
receiving stolen property, theft, and misuse of a credit card. (Id. at 14, 273, 278). When
questioned about any bank statements showing deposits into his account, Father
expressed confidentiality concerns and opined that he “shouldn’t have to show my monies
to an open court.” (Id. at 274).
{¶ 16} In light of the evidence before us and the trial court’s findings, we see no
error in its determination that an award of permanent custody to MCCS was in R.P.’s best
interest. The record supports the trial court’s “too-little-too-late” concerns about Father
and Mother progressing on their case plans, particularly with regard to the housing and
income requirements. The record also supports the trial court’s finding that a legally
secure placement could not be obtained without an award of permanent custody to
MCCS. Although the current foster home was not an adoptive one, the record reflects
that MCCS anticipated quickly moving R.P. into an adoptive home after obtaining
-18-
permanent custody. (Tr. at 139).
{¶ 17} While Father and Mother admittedly made progress on their case plans, that
fact is not dispositive of their child’s best interest. The trial court is best positioned to
weigh the various best-interest factors, and an award of permanent custody to the State
can be appropriate even when just one of those factors supports such a disposition. In re
N.Q., 2d Dist. Montgomery No. 25428, 2013–Ohio–3176, ¶ 71–72. Because the trial
court’s multiple best-interest findings here are supported by clear and convincing
evidence, the appellants’ assignments of error are overruled.
{¶ 18} The judgment of the Montgomery County Common Pleas Court, Juvenile
Division, is affirmed.
