Jacbos v. DFS

Summary

The Supreme Court affirmed the termination of the father's parental rights in his three-year-old son. It held that the father's final felony conviction for a sexual offense against a child independently satisfied a statutory ground for termination and that DFS was not required to provide reunification services under the circumstances. The Court also concluded that the Family Court's findings and best-interests determination were adequately supported and not an abuse of discretion.
