Supreme Court of Delaware

West v. Clarke

January 4, 2022

Summary

The Supreme Court affirmed dismissal of the Mother's petition for review because it was filed outside the thirty-day deadline. It vacated the Commissioner's denial of the Mother's motion to vacate because the Supreme Court lacked jurisdiction to review that decision directly and the pending appeal had divested the Family Court of jurisdiction to act on the motion. The matter was remanded for the Family Court to address the motion to vacate, including the Mother's challenge to the elimination of arrears.
