Kirby v. Perkins

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the Family Court’s order giving Mother authority to make school-related decisions and denying Father’s rule-to-show-cause petition. The Court held that excluding the child’s out-of-court statement and declining to interview the child did not constitute reversible error, that the Family Court adequately found the existing custody arrangement was not in the child’s best interests before modifying it, and that any error in considering secondary sources was harmless. No separate opinions were filed.
