Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Marion County, Steven Guiter, District Associate Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Mullins, P.J., and Schumacher and Ahlers, JJ. Opinion by Mullins, P.J. (3 pages)
A mother appeals the termination of her parental rights, arguing the State failed to prove the child could not be returned to her custody at the time of the termination hearing, termination is contrary to the child’s best interests, and permanency should have been deferred for an additional six months. OPINION HOLDS: We affirm the termination of the mother’s rights.
