Indiana Court of Appeals 
V.K. and T.K. (Minor Children), Children in Need of Services, and A.R. (Mother) v. Indiana Department of Child Services
25A-JC-2395

Juvenile. Appeal from the Perry Circuit Court, Judge Lucy Goffinet. Affirms the trial court’s dispositional order requiring mother to submit to random drug screens and abstain from alcohol. Holds that the mother waived her challenge to these requirements by failing to object to the recommendations in the predispositional report during the dispositional hearing. Additionally, the court finds sufficient evidence supports the imposition of these requirements based on the parents’ history of domestic violence and substance abuse. Judge Kenworthy authored the opinion. Judges Bradford and Pyle concur.  Appellant’s attorney: Cara Schaefer Wieneke, Wieneke Law Office LLC, Brooklyn, Indiana. Appellee’s attorneys: Indiana Attorney General’s Office.
