Supreme Court of Delaware

Drake v. Orlando

April 19, 2017

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the Family Court’s order awarding the parents joint legal custody, giving the mother primary placement, and permitting her relocation with the children to Arizona. The Court held that the father’s failure to provide a transcript prevented meaningful review of his factual challenges and found no legal error or abuse of discretion in the Family Court’s application of the child’s best-interest factors.
