Stuart v. Stuart

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the Family Court’s denial of the Husband’s petition for a protection-from-abuse order. The Court held that the Husband was not entitled to reopen the record for unspecified additional documents, received an adequate opportunity to cross-examine the Wife, demonstrated no plain error concerning the treatment of his federal complaint, and failed to show that the Commissioner improperly disregarded his mental-health evidence. The Court concluded that the Husband had not established by a preponderance of the evidence that the Wife committed an act of abuse.
