Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, Romonda D. Belcher, District Associate Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Doyle, P.J., and Mullins and McDonald, JJ. Opinion by Doyle, P.J. (5 pages)
A father appeals the termination of his parental rights to his child. OPINION HOLDS: The father has waived argument concerning the termination of his parental rights under Iowa Code section 232.116(1)(l) (2018). Because we need only find termination proper on one ground cited by the district court, we may affirm on the termination on this ground. The evidence shows termination, not long-term guardianship, is in the child’s best interests. Accordingly, we affirm the termination of the father’s parental rights.
