Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Black Hawk County, Daniel L. Block, Associate Juvenile Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Potterfield, P.J., Doyle, J., and Carr, S.J. Opinion by Carr, S.J. (6 pages)
A mother appeals the termination of her parental rights to her child. OPINION HOLDS: Clear and convincing evidence establishes the grounds for terminating the mother’s parental rights pursuant to Iowa Code section 232.116(1)(f) (2018). Terminating parental rights is in the child’s best interests, and the juvenile court properly denied the mother’s request for a six-month extension.
