Supreme Court of Delaware

West v. Carlise

December 7, 2017

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the Family Court’s award of joint legal custody, primary residential placement to the Father, and visitation to the Mother. The Court held that the Mother could not raise factual claims for the first time on appeal because she had not presented them to the Family Court, and it found that the Family Court properly applied the child’s best-interest factors.
