Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, Joseph Seidlin, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Schumacher, P.J., and Ahlers and Langholz, JJ. Opinion by Ahlers, J. (6 pages)
A father appeals the termination of his parental rights under Iowa Code chapter 600A (2023), arguing the mother failed to prove he abandoned the child, and that termination of his parental rights was in the child’s best interest. OPINION HOLDS: Because the mother proved the father abandoned the child and that termination of the father’s parental rights is in the child’s best interest, we affirm.
