H.B. v. J.R.

OPINION

VAIDIK, Judge.

Case Summary

Pursuant to a 2010 amendment to Indiana Evidence Rule 201(b), a court may now take judicial notice of "records of a court of this state." Because H.B. ("Mother") did not request an opportunity to be heard pursuant to Rule 201(e) after the trial court in this case took judicial notice, we conclude that the court properly took judicial notice of a protective order that Mother obtained against an ex-boyfriend and then considered it in the eustody modification proceedings with J.R. ("Father"). We therefore affirm the trial court.
