Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Union County, Monty W. Franklin, District Associate Judge. AFFIRMED ON BOTH APPEALS. Considered by Greer, P.J., and Schumacher and Badding, JJ. Opinion by Greer, P.J. (14 pages)
The mother appeals the termination of parental rights to her three children; the father appeals the termination of parental rights to his child. OPINION HOLDS: Finding any argument on the statutory grounds for termination was waived, it is not in the best interests of the children to return them to the parents’ custody, and the requirements for a six-month extension, guardianship, or the permissive exception are not met, we affirm the juvenile court’s termination of the mother’s rights as to all three children and the father’s rights as to his child.
