Supreme Court of Delaware

Berkley v. Calhoun

May 4, 2018

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the Family Court's order granting the maternal grandmother's guardianship petitions for both children. Applying the statutory best-interests standard, the Court concluded that the Family Court properly considered the evidence and reasonably determined that the children would be best served by the maternal grandmother's guardianship. The Court also rejected the appellant's claim that she had not received a fair hearing.
