Supreme Court of Delaware
Amy O'Conner, Petitioner-Below v. Alvin O'Conner, Respondent-Below
July 24, 201498 A.3d 130
Summary
The Court dismissed the Mother's challenges to two Family Court orders because her notice of appeal was filed more than 30 days after those final orders. It reversed the denial of her motion to reopen the custody proceeding, holding that Rule 60(b) contains no filing deadline and that the children's interests justified reopening the matter under the circumstances alleged. The Court declined to resolve the custody appeal solely as a sanction for the Father's failure to respond because the issue could recur in similar cases.
