Supreme Court of Delaware

Grant v. Day

July 10, 2023

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the Family Court’s dismissal of the paternal grandmother’s renewed guardianship petition. It held that she could not relitigate the earlier guardianship determination because she had not appealed it, and that the record supported dismissal of the renewed petition after the abuse allegations were investigated and not substantiated. The Court also held that the grandmother’s complaint about later visitation events was outside the scope of the appeal.
