Q: AFFIRMED IN PART AND REVERSED IN PART.What does that mean?
A mother appeals a child in need of assistance adjudication
A: When a ruling has been appealed and is "Affirmed in Part and Reversed in Part", it means that a portion of the appealed ruling has been affirmed, meaning confirmed here; and part of the appealed ruling has been Reversed, meaning that part of the original ruling is no longer valid. I would need more context to determine what the meaning of the affirmation & reversal in part mean specifically for your case.
A: First, I am not an Iowa lawyer. That being said: "Affirmed in part and reversed in part" is exactly what those words mean. The trial court ruling/ decision was affirmed in certain respect and reversed in other respect. It also means that the appellant won--for the part of the trial court ruling that was reversed. It also generally means that the decision will be remanded to the trial court for possibly a new trial or some clarification.
