Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Worth County, Adam D. Sauer, District Associate Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Bower, C.J., Tabor, J., and Blane, S.J. Opinion by Tabor, J. (8 pages)
A father appeals the private termination of his parental rights to his two children by their mother. He also contends the mother failed to adhere to parenting guidelines issued by the state of South Dakota. OPINION HOLDS: We find the father failed to prove the enforceability of the South Dakota guidelines. Because the mother presented clear and convincing evidence that the father abandoned the children and termination would be in their best interest, we affirm.
