Supreme Court of Delaware
Simpson v. Simpson
August 8, 2019
Summary
The Court affirmed the Family Court’s denial of the Wife’s post-judgment motions concerning the division of household goods and the dismissal of her enforcement proceeding with prejudice. It held that the record did not establish an enforceable settlement requiring the Wife to receive overlapping items and that the Family Court acted within its discretion in ordering a new division process. The Court also held that the Wife failed to establish excusable neglect, a likelihood of a different result, lack of prejudice, or extraordinary circumstances warranting relief from the dismissal.
