Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, Susan Cox, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Schumacher, P.J., and Buller and Langholz, JJ. Opinion by Schumacher, P.J. (8 pages)
A mother appeals the termination of her parental rights under Iowa Code section 232.116(1)(f) (2024). She argues the State failed to prove the statutory ground for termination and termination is not in the best interests of the children. OPINION HOLDS: On our de novo review, we conclude clear and convincing evidence exists in this record to support the statutory ground for termination and termination is in the best interests of the children.
