Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, Kimberly Ayotte, District Associate Judge. AFFIRMED ON BOTH APPEALS. Considered by Vaitheswaran, P.J., and Greer and Schumacher, JJ. Opinion by Schumacher, J. (10 pages)
A mother and father separately appeal the termination of their parental rights. OPINION HOLDS: We conclude termination of the father’s parental rights is in the child’s best interests. We determine there is clear and convincing evidence in the record to support termination of the mother’s parental rights, the mother waived her claim concerning reasonable efforts, and she did not preserve error on her request for an extension of time. We affirm on both appeals.
