Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Hamilton County, Hans Becker, District Associate Judge. AFFIRMED ON BOTH APPEALS. Considered by Bower, C.J., Buller, J., and Scott, S.J. Opinion by Scott, S.J. (13 pages)
F.Y., who is the father of P.S., and the mother of all three children separately appeal the termination of their parental rights. F.Y. claims termination of his parental rights is not in the child’s best interests. The mother contends she should have been granted a six-month extension to seek reunification, termination of her parental rights is not in the children’s best interests, and her bond with the children should provide a basis to avoid termination. OPINION HOLDS: We affirm on both appeals.
