Griffin v. Dscyf

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the Family Court's termination of the mother's parental rights over two children. It held that clear and convincing evidence supported the statutory ground of failure to plan, based principally on the mother's inability to obtain and maintain suitable housing and the children's extended placement in DSCYF custody. It also held that the Family Court acted within its discretion in determining that termination served the children's best interests by weighing the statutory factors against the mother.
