Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Cerro Gordo County, Adam Sauer, District Associate Judge. AFFIRMED ON BOTH APPEALS. Considered by Bower, C.J., and Schumacher and Badding, JJ. Opinion by Bower, C.J. (9 pages)
A mother and father separately appeal from the termination of their parental rights to their children. Both contend the State failed to prove the grounds for termination cited by the juvenile court, termination was not in the children’s best interests, the court should apply a permissive exception to preclude termination, and a six-month extension would eliminate the grounds for termination. OPINION HOLDS: Upon our review, we affirm both appeals.
