Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Webster County, Angela L. Doyle, District Associate Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Danilson, C.J., and Vogel and Tabor, JJ. Opinion by Danilson, C.J. (7 pages)
The father appeals the termination of his parental rights to his child. The juvenile court terminated the father’s parental rights pursuant to Iowa Code section 232.116(1)(b), (e), (h), and (l) (2018). It also found termination was in the child’s best interests. OPINION HOLDS: Upon our de novo review, we find clear and convincing evidence supports termination under section 232.116(1)(h), termination is in the child’s best interests, and there is no basis to support an extension. Therefore, we affirm.
