Supreme Court of Delaware
Carlton v.Zepski
February 7, 2018
Summary
The Supreme Court affirmed the Family Court's denial of Carlton's motions for interim visitation, discovery, and a continuance, as well as the dismissal of his custody-modification petition and the award of attorney's fees. The court held that the Family Court acted within its broad discretion because the interim hearing would have duplicated the imminent trial, the requested information was otherwise obtainable, Carlton created the need for a continuance, and the fee award was supported by consent and equitable considerations.
