|||||
Overview: Clear and convincing evidence supported termination of a father's parental rights under Iowa Code § 232.116(1)(h); inter alia, at termination hearing, he was still at a halfway house which did not allow children, and although he had been released, he had yet to prove that he could maintain an appropriate lifestyle in community without supervision.

|||||
Overview: Dispositional and permanency order following removal of child from mother's care was affirmed because mother's arguments on appeal were not first addressed by district court. Order did not make findings as to abandonment but confirmed that child was in need of assistance under Iowa Code § 232.2(6)(c)(2). Issue of relative placement was waived.

|||||
Overview: Overwhelming evidence showed that termination of a father's parental rights pursuant to Iowa Code § 232.116 was in his daughter's best interest. Termination was necessary and appropriate to allow the daughter, who suffered from feelings of abandonment, the opportunity to acquire the stability, security, and permanence she needed and deserved.

|||||
Overview: Termination of incarcerated parents' parental rights under Iowa Code § 232.116 was proper as the two young children had lived most of their lives in a home filled with physical, sexual, and emotional abuse, and termination would allow them to spend their remaining formative years in a safe and secure environment.

|||||
Overview: Based on the risk of harm posed by a mother's past behaviors, her parental rights under Iowa Code § 231.116(1)(f)(d) were properly terminated; the mother persisted in accusing the father of sexual abuse of the child, although not substantiated by a physical examination of the child, and she posted accusations on the internet against the father.

|||||
Overview: Because there was no valid appeal from the district court's ruling in a fencing dispute brought pursuant to Iowa Code ch. 359A, the district court erred in holding that the posted appeal bond could be retained and used to fund the fence work; the dismissal of the neighbor's appeal foreclosed upon district court's ability to retain the posted bond.

|||||
Overview: In a workers' compensation case, substantial evidence supported a finding of no causal relationship between claimed disabilities and accidents, because claimant's lengthy history of poor health conditions prior to first accident was detailed, and discounted medical opinions did not account for claimant's prior history of musculoskeletal problems.

|||||
Overview: In a domestic abuse assault case, trial counsel did not render ineffective assistance by not objecting to an officer's testimony regarding the victim's prior head injury as this testimony did not raise the concerns Iowa R. Evid. 5.404(b) was meant to avoid and did not imply defendant caused, or was in any way connected with, the prior head injury.
