Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Marion County, Steven Guiter, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Ahlers, P.J., and Chicchelly and Buller, JJ. Opinion by Chicchelly, J. (10 pages)
A mother appeals the termination of her parental rights to her child. OPINION HOLDS: Clear and convincing evidence supports terminating the mother’s parental rights under Iowa Code section 232.116(1)(h) (2024). Because granting the mother additional time will not change the need for the child’s removal and termination is in the child’s best interests, we affirm.
