Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Benton County, Cynthia S. Finley, District Associate Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Vaitheswaran, P.J., and Greer and Schumacher, JJ. Opinion by Greer, J. (7 pages)
A father appeals the termination of his parental rights, arguing the State failed to prove the grounds for termination and that the strength of the bond between him and the child outweighs the need for termination. OPINION HOLDS: Because the State established the grounds for termination and the strength of the bond between the father and the child does not outweigh the need for termination, we affirm the juvenile court’s termination of the father’s parental rights.
