Supreme Court of Delaware

Billings v. Department of Services for Children, Youth and Their Families

June 4, 2024

Summary

The Supreme Court affirmed the Family Court’s termination of Father’s parental rights because clear and convincing evidence supported both a statutory ground for termination based on failure to plan and the conclusion that termination served the Child’s best interests. The Court found no factual or legal error and concluded that the appeal was wholly without merit under the no-merit procedure. Counsel’s motion to withdraw was moot.
