Supreme Court of Delaware
Ravin v. State
December 30, 2019
Summary
The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the Family Court’s order granting joint legal custody, primary placement to the Mother, and permission for her to relocate with the Child to Georgia. The Court held that the Father had a meaningful opportunity to contest relocation, that the Family Court’s findings were supported by the record despite one error concerning the Child’s relationships, and that the remaining best-interest factors supported the result. The Court deferred to the Family Court’s credibility determinations regarding the parties’ history of domestic violence.
