Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Story County, Stephen A. Owen, District Associate Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Tabor, P.J., and May and Greer, JJ. Opinion by May, J. (5 pages)
A father appeals the juvenile court’s permanency order establishing a guardianship for one of his children. He contends the Iowa Department of Human Services did not make reasonable efforts toward reunification and a guardianship is not in the child’s best interest. OPINION HOLDS: The father did not preserve error on his reasonable-efforts claim. We conclude establishment of a guardianship is in the child’s best interest.
