Overview: Father's parental rights were properly terminated pursuant to Iowa Code § 232.116(1)(e) because for majority of time since daughter was adjudicated child in need of assistance, father was unable to visit her due to his arrests and incarceration and his sporadic visitation made it hard to gauge his parenting skills or his bonding with daughter.
