Harris v. Price

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the Family Court’s termination of the mother’s parental rights. The parties had stipulated that abandonment supplied a statutory ground, and the record supported findings that termination served the children’s best interests and that continuing the mother’s rights would harm them. The Supreme Court held that the Family Court acted within its discretion in giving greater weight to the therapist’s testimony than to the mother’s testimony and found no legal error or abuse of discretion.
