Pack v. McBride

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the Family Court’s order granting the mother sole legal custody and primary residential placement of the parties’ children. The court held that the father’s appellate arguments could not be considered because he had not presented them to the Family Court, and any explanation for his failure to appear had to be raised first through a motion to reopen. The Family Court’s custody modification was otherwise supported by its analysis of the statutory best-interest factors.
