Court of Appeals Opinion

Summary

            Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Warren County, Kevin Parker, Judge.  AFFIRMED.  Considered without oral argument by Tabor, C.J., and Ahlers and Langholz, JJ.  Opinion by Tabor, C.J.  (9 pages)

            S.M. appeals the denial of her guardianship petition over her fiancé’s son.  She challenges the district court’s finding that she failed to prove by clear and convincing evidence the grounds in Iowa Code section 232D.204(2) (2024).  OPINION HOLDS: After reviewing her claims de novo, we find she did not establish grounds to create a guardianship, so we affirm.
