Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Plymouth County, Daniel P. Vakulskas, District Associate Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Bower, C.J., and May and Ahlers, JJ. Opinion by Bower, C.J. (11 pages)
A father appeals the juvenile court’s termination of his parental rights in a private termination action. OPINION HOLDS: We find clear and convincing evidence supports both grounds for termination, termination is in the children’s best interests, the father did not establish his counsel provided ineffective assistance, and his due process rights were not violated. We affirm.
