Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Winneshiek County, Linnea M.N. Nicol, District Associate Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Vaitheswaran, P.J., and Tabor and May, JJ. Opinion by Tabor, J. (14 pages)
A mother appeals the termination of her parental rights. OPINION HOLDS: The guardian ad litem established a ground for termination, and termination is in the child’s best interests. Additional time for reunification would not improve prospects. And the court did not abuse its discretion by limiting irrelevant evidence. We affirm.
