Collins v. Collins

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the Family Court’s order granting a protection-from-abuse order. It held that the Family Court conducted the required de novo review of the Commissioner’s decision and did not abuse its discretion in accepting the factual findings and credibility assessments. The evidence supported a finding, by a preponderance of the evidence, that the Husband engaged in alarming or distressing conduct likely to cause fear or emotional distress.
