Supreme Court of Delaware

Kline v. Delaware Division of Family Services

February 28, 2023

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the Family Court’s termination of the Mother’s parental rights based on her failure to plan for the Child’s needs and her prior involuntary termination of parental rights. The Court held that the Family Court’s findings were supported by the record and that termination was proven to be in the Child’s best interests by clear and convincing evidence. The appeal was deemed wholly without merit, and counsel’s motion to withdraw was rendered moot.
