Supreme Court of Delaware

Price v. Division of Family Services

October 18, 2022

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the denial of Samantha Price’s petition for guardianship of her niece. The Court held that it need not resolve the disputed statutory standard because the Family Court correctly determined that guardianship was not in the Child’s best interests, and it found no abuse of discretion in the Child interview or evidentiary rulings. The Court also upheld consideration of the Child’s firsthand statements and prior Family Court records.
