Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, Lynn Poschner, District Associate Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Bower, C.J., and Tabor and Greer, JJ. Opinion by Greer, J. (3 pages)
The juvenile court terminated the father’s parental rights to E.V., born in 2016, under Iowa Code section 232.116(1)(b), (e), and (f) (2023). On appeal, the father focuses his challenge on whether termination of his parental rights is in E.V.’s best interests. OPINION HOLDS: E.V. needs and deserves permanency, and termination of the father’s parental rights will allow her to achieve it. We affirm the juvenile court.
