Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Fayette County, Linnea M.N. Nichol, Judge. AFFIRMED IN PART AND VACATED IN PART. Considered by Tabor, P.J., and Chicchelly and Buller, JJ. Opinion by Chicchelly, J. (10 pages)
A mother appeals a bridge order entered in a child-in-need-of-assistance proceeding. OPINION HOLDS: I. We affirm the issuance of a bridge order granting the parents joint legal custody of the child and placing the child in the father’s physical care. We vacate the portion of the order conditioning the mother’s ability to exercise visitation with the child on access to the mother’s confidential medical and mental-health records. II. We find no due process violation based on the incomplete transcript of the permanency hearing.
