Supreme Court of Delaware

Birch v. Dscyf/dfs

July 9, 2020

Summary

The Supreme Court affirmed the Family Court’s termination of the Father’s parental rights. It held that the record supported the statutory ground that the Father failed to plan adequately for the Child’s needs and supported the finding that termination was in the Child’s best interests, both by clear and convincing evidence. The Court also declined to consider the Father’s newly asserted housing and support-system facts because they were not presented below.
