Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Webster County, Joseph L. Tofilon, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Tabor, C.J., and Schumacher and Chicchelly, JJ. Opinion by Schumacher, J. (9 pages)
A father appeals the termination of his parental rights to three of his children. He challenges the sufficiency of the evidence supporting the grounds for termination, claims termination is not in the children’s best interests because permissive grounds to preclude termination exist, and argues the district court erred in denying his request for additional time to work toward reunification. OPINION HOLDS: Having found the statutory grounds satisfied, that no permissive exception should be applied, and that an extension of time is unwarranted, we affirm termination of the father’s parental rights.
