Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Sac County, Joseph B. McCarville, District Associate Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Tabor, P.J., and Schumacher and Chicchelly, JJ. Opinion by Chicchelly, J. (5 pages)
A father appeals the termination of his parental rights to his child under Iowa Code chapter 600A (2022). OPINION HOLDS: Clear and convincing evidence shows the father, who is scheduled for release from federal prison in 2039, is unlikely to be released from prison in less than five years. Because termination is in the child’s best interests, we affirm.
