Ford v. Department of Services for Children, Youth and their Families

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the Family Court’s termination of Mother’s parental rights to five children. The Court held that the record supported the findings that Mother failed to complete the substance-abuse component of her case plan and that termination was in the Children’s best interests, both established by clear and convincing evidence. The Court also concluded that the appeal was wholly without merit under the applicable withdrawal procedure.
