Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Fayette County, Linnea M.N. Nicol, District Associate Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Tabor, P.J., and Schumacher and Ahlers, JJ. Opinion by Tabor, P.J. (6 pages)
A mother, Lindsey, appeals the termination of her parental rights to her three-year-old son. She argues it was not in her son’s best interests and a permissive factor advises against termination. She also requests more time. OPINION HOLDS: Because we find termination is in the child’s best interest, no permissive exception applies, and the evidence does not support delaying the child’s permanency, we affirm.
