Supreme Court of Delaware

Whitewood v. Henderson

November 18, 2019

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware reversed and remanded an order limiting a mother's visitation with her two children. It held that the Family Court lacked an evidentiary basis for conditioning unsupervised visitation on the younger child's counselor first declaring that the child was ready, although the record also did not support the mother's request for substantially expanded visitation. The Court found no reversible error from the challenged hearsay and rejected the mother's argument concerning equal authority over future visitation changes.
