Supreme Court of Delaware

Stewart v. Department of Services for Children, Youth and Their Families

February 20, 2025

Summary

The Court affirmed the Family Court’s termination of Mother’s parental rights after concluding that the record supported the finding that she failed to plan adequately for the Child’s physical needs and emotional health and development, and that termination was in the Child’s best interest. The Court also determined that counsel properly concluded under the no-merit procedure that the appeal presented no arguably appealable issue. The opinion contains no separate writings.
