Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Cherokee County, Mary L. Timko, Associate Juvenile Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Doyle, P.J., Mullins, J., and Danilson, S.J. Opinion by Mullins, J. (11 pages)
A father appeals the termination of his parental rights. He challenges the sufficiency of the evidence supporting the grounds for termination, asserts termination is not in the children’s best interest, and requests the application of a statutory exception to termination. The father also argues the State failed to make reasonable efforts to reunify him with the children. OPINION HOLDS: We affirm the termination of the father’s parental rights.
