Supreme Court of Delaware
Harris v. Tucker
May 22, 2025
Summary
The Court held that the Family Court improperly ended a custody-modification hearing before the father completed cross-examination and presented rebuttal evidence, leaving an incomplete evidentiary record. The restriction constituted an abuse of discretion and denied the father a full and fair opportunity to be heard on material custody issues. The Court remanded for the requested additional evidence and reevaluation of the custody petition. The related rule-to-show-cause petition must also be reevaluated.
