Supreme Court of Delaware

Ward v. Taylor

January 5, 2024

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed a Family Court protection-from-abuse order that awarded temporary custody of the child to Father. It held that the Family Court retained jurisdiction under the UCCJEA, that electronic service satisfied the applicable service requirement, and that the evidence supported a finding of domestic violence. The Court also upheld the Family Court’s refusal to reopen the matter for Mother’s remote participation.
