Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Dubuque County, Thomas J. Straka, Associate Juvenile Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Doyle, P.J., Mullins, J., and Mahan, S.J. Opinion by Mahan, S.J. (5 pages)
A father appeals the termination of his parental rights in his child. OPINION HOLDS: The juvenile court did not err in denying the father’s request for an additional six months to work toward reunification. Termination is in the child’s best interest, and the parent-child bond is not so strong as to preclude termination.
