Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Clinton County, Phillip J. Tabor, District Associate Judge. AFFIRMED ON BOTH APPEALS. Considered by Mullins, P.J., and May and Schumacher, JJ. Tabor, J., takes no part. Opinion by Schumacher, J. (9 pages)
A mother and father separately appeal the termination of their parental rights to their two sons. OPINION HOLDS: We find the record contains clear and convincing evidence to support termination under a ground relied on by the district court as to each parent. We further find a bond between the father and his sons should not prevent termination under Iowa Code section 232.116(3) (2020).
