Supreme Court of Delaware

Green v. Green

December 12, 2016

Summary

The Court affirmed dismissal of Wife’s second alimony petition because her prior request had been denied in a final ancillary order after she failed to prove dependency, making the later petition barred by res judicata. The Court held that the statutory limit on the duration of alimony eligibility does not authorize serial applications after an initial denial. The Court also granted the motion to strike Wife’s untimely reply brief.
