Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Black Hawk County, Daniel L. Block, Judge. AFFIRMED ON BOTH APPEALS. Considered by Greer, P.J., and Buller and Langholz, JJ. Opinion by Buller, J. (9 pages)
A mother and father separately appeal the termination of their parental rights. OPINION HOLDS: Finding the mother’s arguments generally thwarted by the existence of a five-year no contact order, we affirm the termination of her parental rights. Because neither child can safely return to the father’s care and additional time was not warranted, we affirm termination of the father’s parental rights.
