Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Dallas County, Randy V. Hefner, Judge. REVERSED AND REMANDED. Heard by Bower, C.J., and Vaitheswaran and Tabor, JJ. Opinion by Vaitheswaran, J. (10 pages)
A mother of three children appeals orders reinstating visits with the children’s father following a period of suspension while he was incarcerated for federal drug crimes. OPINION HOLDS: Because we have no evidence to support a conclusion that categorical unsupervised visits are in the children’s best interests, we reverse the October 2021 order and remand for an evidentiary hearing to address the matters contained in that order based on present circumstances.
