Supreme Court of Delaware
Morris v. DFS
June 15, 2015
Summary
The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the termination of Caleb Morris’s parental rights. It held that clear and convincing evidence supported the finding that he failed to plan adequately for his daughter’s needs because he did not secure housing or employment and remained unable to provide adequate care, and that termination was in the child’s best interest. The Court applied the statutory two-step termination framework and found no error in the Family Court’s factual findings or best-interest analysis.
