Supreme Court of Delaware

Peters v. Dscyf

February 14, 2020

Summary

The Court affirmed the Family Court’s termination of the Mother’s parental rights after concluding that clear and convincing evidence supported a statutory ground for termination and that termination was in the Child’s best interests. The Court rejected the proposed challenges concerning the Mother’s positive PCP tests and the Family Court’s weighing of the best-interest factors, deferring to the Family Court’s credibility determinations and discretionary weighing of the evidence.
