Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Benton County, Carrie K. Bryner, Judge. AFFIRMED ON BOTH APPEALS. Considered without oral argument by Schumacher, P.J., and Buller and Sandy, JJ. Opinion by Buller, J. (8 pages)
The mother and father separately appeal termination of their parental rights to a child. OPINION HOLDS: We find the child could not have been safely returned to the father’s custody as of trial, termination is in the child’s best interests, and an additional six months for reunification was unnecessary. Error was not preserved on any exceptions to thwart termination. We affirm on both appeals.
