Supreme Court of Delaware

Bradley Wilson, Respondent Below, Appellant v. Division of Family Services, Petitioner Below, Appellee

January 26, 20102010 Del. LEXIS 36

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the termination of Wilson’s parental rights, rejecting his challenges to the validity of his written consent, the constitutionality of the consent procedure, and the denial of his attempted revocation. The court held that a verbal colloquy was required for an oral consent but not for a properly executed written consent, that the statutory procedure was fundamentally fair, and that Wilson’s revocation was untimely. No separate opinions were issued.
