Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, Romonda Belcher, District Associate Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Mullins, P.J., Greer, J., and Mahan, S.J. Opinion by Mahan, S.J. (6 pages)
A mother appeals the termination of her parental rights to her child, contending the State failed to prove the ground for termination cited by the juvenile court, the court should have granted additional time to work toward reunification, and the court should have applied statutory exceptions under Iowa Code section 232.116(3) (2020) to preclude termination. OPINION HOLDS: We affirm.
