Mason v. DFS and Office of Child Advocate

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the Family Court’s termination of Andre Mason’s parental rights in his daughter because clear and convincing evidence established a statutory ground for termination, additional statutory conditions, and that termination served the child’s best interests. The court held that DFS was not required to provide Mason a reunification case plan because his extended incarceration made reunification infeasible, and it found no abuse of discretion or legal error in the Family Court’s decision. Mason’s counsel’s motion to withdraw was rendered moot.
