Supreme Court of Delaware

Worthington v. Bachman

May 31, 2017

Summary

The Court affirmed the Family Court’s decision awarding the parents joint custody and shared residential placement and denying the Mother’s request to relocate with the Child to Florida. It held that the Family Court properly applied the child’s-best-interests standard and that its factual findings were supported by the record. The Court reversed and remanded because the Family Court failed to establish daily or weekly residential and vacation schedules to govern if the parents could not agree.
