Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Woodbury County, Mary Jane Sokolovske, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Badding, P.J., Chicchelly, J., and Gamble, S.J. Opinion by Gamble, S.J. (4 pages)
A father appeals the termination of his parental rights. He challenges the statutory grounds for termination and argues termination is not in the child’s best interest. OPINION HOLDS: A statutory ground authorizing termination is satisfied because the child could not be returned to the father at the time of the termination hearing. And termination is in the child’s best interest.
