Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, Kimberly Ayotte, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered without oral argument by Chicchelly, P.J., and Buller and Langholz, JJ. Opinion by Chicchelly, P.J. (7 pages)
A father appeals the termination of his parental rights under Iowa Code section 232.116(1)(e) and (f) (2025). He argues (1) termination of his parental rights are not in the best interests of the child and (2) termination would be detrimental to the child due to the closeness of the parent-child relationship. OPINION HOLDS: Upon our de novo review, termination was in the best interests of the child and the father did not preserve error on his requests for a permissive exception or additional time. Accordingly, we affirm.
