Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Clinton County, Kimberly K. Shepherd, Judge. AFFIRMED ON BOTH APPEALS. Considered by Schumacher, P.J., Ahlers, J., and Blane, S.J. Opinion by Schumacher, P.J. (11 pages)
A mother and father appeal the termination of their parental rights. OPINION HOLDS: Because the State has proven grounds by clear and convincing evidence for termination under Iowa Code section 232.116(1)(f) and (h) (2023), termination is in the best interest of the children, a permissive exception should not be applied to preclude termination, and an extension of time for reunification efforts is unwarranted, we affirm.
