Thompson v. DFS

November 18, 2014

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the Family Court’s termination of the mother’s parental rights to her son. The Court held that the record supported termination based on the mother’s failure to plan and established that termination was in the child’s best interest, and it found no abuse of discretion or legal error. The Court reviewed the appeal under the standards applicable to legal rulings, factual findings, and discretionary decisions.
