Supreme Court of Delaware

Ward v. Taylor

February 15, 2024

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the Family Court’s order awarding Father custody and placement of the child and finding Mother in contempt. It held that Delaware retained exclusive, continuing jurisdiction under the UCCJEA because the child and Father maintained significant connections to Delaware, and that service of the relevant petitions was adequate. The Court also rejected Mother’s unsupported perjury argument. No separate opinions were filed.
