Supreme Court of Delaware
Baker-Sage v. DFS
February 28, 2019
Summary
The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the Family Court’s order terminating the mother’s parental rights. The court held that DFS proved by clear and convincing evidence a statutory ground for termination, additional statutory conditions, reasonable reunification efforts, and that termination served the children’s best interests. The court also declined to consider evidence arising after the termination hearing and rejected the mother’s claims regarding the adequacy of her housing and alleged retaliation.
