Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Linn County, Carrie K. Bryner, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered without oral argument by Ahlers, P.J., and Badding and Buller, JJ. Opinion by Badding, J. (10 pages)
A mother appeals the termination of her parental rights to her child under Iowa Code section 232.116(1)(f) (2023). OPINION HOLDS: Due to the mother’s ongoing domestically violent relationship, we hold the statutory ground was met. The mother did not preserve error on her parent-child bond and additional time arguments, and even if error was preserved, we would deny both requests for lack of supporting evidence.
