Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Webster County, Joseph McCarville, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered without oral argument by Badding, P.J., Sandy, J., and Bower, S.J. Opinion by Bower, S.J. (7 pages)
A mother appeals the termination of her parental rights, challenging the statutory grounds authorizing termination, claiming the Iowa Department of Health and Human Services failed to make reasonable efforts toward reunification, arguing a permissive exception should be applied, and maintaining her right to counsel was violated due to the “current statutory court-appointed hourly rate.” OPINION HOLDS: Upon our review, we affirm.
