Thread v. Dillard

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the Family Court’s order requiring the former wife to transfer her interest in jointly titled property to the former husband without compensation. The Court held that the Family Court properly evaluated the property’s equity, declined to credit unsupported expenditures, and denied rent because the former wife presented no competent evidence of market rental value. The Court also held that the former wife’s personal-property claims were outside the scope of the proceeding and that evidence not presented below could not be considered on appeal.
