Supreme Court of Delaware
Austin L. Taylor, Respondent-Below, Appellant v. Christina A. Taylor, Petitioner-Below, Appellee
September 23, 20142014 Del. LEXIS 426
Summary
The Supreme Court of Delaware reversed the Family Court's refusal to reopen a default alimony order. The Wife knowingly supplied an outdated address, failed to disclose her agreement to receive the Husband's mail, and thereby prevented him from receiving notice or contesting alimony. The Court held that these circumstances constituted misconduct warranting relief under Rule 60(b)(3) or, alternatively, in the interests of justice under Rule 60(b)(6).
