Peeta v. Blank

March 15, 2019

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the Family Court’s order granting the paternal grandmother permanent guardianship of the child. The Court held that the Family Court applied the correct legal standards, supported its factual findings with the record, and acted within its discretion in weighing the evidence and witness credibility. The Court also rejected the mother’s claims that immaterial factual errors or ineffective assistance of counsel warranted reversal.
