Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Hardin County, Paul G. Crawford, District Associate Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Bower, C.J., and Vaitheswaran and Schumacher, JJ. Opinion by Bower, C.J. (12 pages)
A father appeals the termination of his parental rights under Iowa Code chapter 600A (2020). The father asserts the mother did not establish he abandoned the child, termination is not in the child’s best interests, and his trial counsel provided ineffective assistance. OPINION HOLDS: We affirm the juvenile court and deny the father’s request for attorney fees.
