Supreme Court of Delaware

Frost and Burton v. Dscyf/dfs

February 24, 2025

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the Family Court’s termination of both parents’ parental rights to four children. It held that clear and convincing evidence supported failure to plan because the parents could not consistently meet the children’s basic physical, developmental, educational, and emotional needs, despite extensive services and periods of progress. The Court also upheld the findings that DFS made reasonable reunification efforts and that termination served the children’s best interests.
