Supreme Court of Delaware

King v. Booker

August 28, 2015

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware reversed the Family Court’s decision vacating a protection-from-abuse order. It held that Booker’s admitted conduct—kicking in the locked front door and taking property, including gifts to King—established an act of abuse under the statute by a preponderance of the evidence. The Court remanded with instructions to reinstate the Commissioner’s PFA order.
