Jarvis v. Mole and Band

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the denial of a former step-grandfather's petition for third-party visitation. Although the Family Court did not separately analyze every best-interest factor, its decision correctly recognized that visitation could not be granted unless all statutory requirements were satisfied, including clear and convincing proof that the parents' objections were unreasonable. The record supported the finding that the former step-grandfather failed to meet that burden.
