Beth J. Roberts, Respondent Below, Appellant v. Matthew Roberts, Petitioner Below, Appellee

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the Family Court’s entry of the parties’ divorce decree. It held that the record did not establish that Husband had a demonstrable history of domestic violence requiring completion of an enhanced parenting education course, and that completion of the parenting education requirement was not a condition precedent to entry of a divorce decree. The Court also held that the requirement was procedural rather than a substantive bar to scheduling a contested divorce hearing or entering the decree.
