1Opinion of the Court

McCORMICK, Justice.

This is an appeal by Michael Kelley from a decree terminating his relationship with his daughter Kathy Sue. The action was brought under chapter 600A, The Code. Michael contends the trial court erred (1) in failing to apply the clear and convincing evidence standard of proof, (2) in terminating the relationship on the ground of abandonment, (3) in terminating the relationship on the ground of nonpayment of child support, and (4) in terminating the relationship on the ground of failure to remedy conditions which led to a prior neglect adjudication. We affirm the trial court.
