Supreme Court of Delaware

George v. Dscyf and Dfs

October 27, 2016

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the termination of Stephanie George’s parental rights to her twins. It held that George had standing to challenge the termination order, but the Family Court’s handling of a separate guardianship petition did not deprive her of due process because she had a full and fair opportunity to present evidence opposing termination. The Court also held that the record supported, by clear and convincing evidence, the finding that George failed to plan adequately for the twins’ care.
