Supreme Court of Delaware
Brown v. Branch
October 21, 2016
Summary
The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the Family Court’s denial of the Father’s custody-modification and contempt petitions and its decision to suspend the Father’s visitation. The Court held that the Family Court properly applied the domestic-violence presumption, evaluated the children’s best interests and emotional safety, weighed the evidence, and excluded an unauthenticated visitation log containing hearsay. The Court found no legal error, abuse of discretion, or clearly erroneous factual finding.
