Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Page County, Jennifer Bahr, District Associate Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by May, P.J., and Greer and Schumacher, JJ. Opinion by Schumacher, J. (8 pages)
A father appeals the statutory grounds relied on by the district court for termination of his parental rights, the best interest finding, and the denial of an extension of time for reunification efforts. OPINION HOLDS: Upon our de novo review, we affirm the termination of the father’s parental rights pursuant to Iowa Code section 232.116(1)(f) (2020), find termination is in the children’s best interest, and an extension of time, under the facts of this case, is not warranted. Accordingly, we affirm the district court.
