Crouch v. Crouch

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the Family Court’s enforcement of an oral agreement requiring Walter Crouch to pay Valerie Crouch $1,100 per month in alimony until either party’s death. The Court held that Walter failed to preserve his evidentiary objection, could not challenge the procedural treatment of Valerie’s enforcement motion after agreeing the court had jurisdiction, and failed to show that the Family Court improperly relied on Valerie’s testimony. The Court deferred to the Family Court’s credibility findings and upheld the specific-performance order.
