Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Pottawattamie County, Scott Strait, District Associate Judge. AFFIRMED ON BOTH APPEALS. Considered by Tabor, P.J., and Schumacher and Ahlers, JJ. Opinion by Tabor, P.J. (5 pages)
A mother and father appeal the termination of their parental rights. OPINION HOLDS: We find clear and convincing evidence for termination of both parents’ rights under Iowa Code section 232.116(1)(h) (2020). We also find the father did not show the closeness of his parent-child relationship met the statutory factor precluding termination under section 232.116(3)(c). Thus, we affirm.
