Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Warren County, Kevin Parker, District Associate Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Bower, C.J., and May and Greer, JJ. Opinion by Greer, J. (7 pages)
J.S. appeals the termination of his parental rights to his minor child, S.S. He argues he did not abandon S.S. under Iowa Code section 600A.8(3)(b) (2017) and termination is not in S.S.’s best interests. OPINION HOLDS: Because the mother has shown by clear and convincing evidence the father abandoned the child and termination is in the child’s best interests we affirm the district court’s order terminating the father’s parental rights.
