Layton & Costas v. Layton

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed Family Court orders finding Mother and Grandmother in contempt for interfering with Father’s court-ordered reunification therapy and visitation, awarding Father’s counsel attorney’s fees, and requiring Grandmother to fund a replacement therapist. The Court held that the appeals were properly reviewable despite the appellants’ ongoing contempt and concluded that the Family Court’s factual findings, credibility determinations, contempt rulings, fee award, and compensatory sanction were supported by the record and within its discretion.
