Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, Brent Pattison, District Associate Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Schumacher, P.J., Ahlers, J., and Mullins, S.J. Opinion by Mullins, S.J. (9 pages)
A father appeals the termination of his parental rights to his three children under Iowa Code section 232.116(1)(f) (2022). He challenges the sufficiency of the evidence supporting the ground for termination and argues termination is contrary to the children’s best interests due to the closeness of the parent-child bonds. OPINION HOLDS: We affirm the termination of the father’s parental rights.
