Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Black Hawk County, Michelle Jungers, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered without oral argument by Tabor, C.J., and Badding and Sandy, JJ. Opinion by Sandy, J. (6 pages)
The father appeals the termination of his parental rights to his two children, K.D. and W.D., pursuant to Iowa Code section 600A.8(3)(b) (2025). He argues the juvenile court improperly burden shifted and that termination is not in the children’s best interests. OPINION HOLDS: Because the juvenile court did not shift the burden and termination is in the children’s best interests, we affirm.
