Supreme Court of Delaware

Ross v. Dscyf/dfs

September 30, 2025

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the Family Court's termination of Father's parental rights after concluding that clear and convincing evidence established both a statutory failure-to-plan ground and that termination served the child's best interests. The record supported findings that Father did not complete key case-plan requirements, lacked demonstrated ability to address the child's substantial medical needs, and had not provided stable housing or employment evidence. The Court also approved counsel's no-merit determination under Rule 26.1(c) and found no arguably appealable issue.
