Prince-Wilks v. Department of Services for Children, Youth and Their Families

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the termination of Father’s parental rights after concluding that the Family Court’s findings were supported by the record and that the court correctly applied the law. The evidence established statutory grounds based on Father’s failure to plan and the unexplained death or serious injury of another child while in his care, and supported the finding that termination was in the Child’s best interests. Father’s counsel’s motion to withdraw was rendered moot by the affirmance.
