Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Scott County, Jeffrey C. McDaniel, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered without oral argument by Tabor, C.J., and Greer and Buller, JJ. Opinion by Greer, J. (6 pages)
A grandfather appeals the denial of his petition for grandparent visitation rights. OPINION HOLDS: Because the grandfather could not overcome the presumption under Iowa Code chapter 600C (2023) that the mother was unfit to make decisions regarding visitation, we affirm the district court’s denial of his petition for grandparent visitation rights.
