Supreme Court of Delaware

Dorsey, Ralph v. Daphne Milner

January 20, 2026

Summary

The Court affirmed the Family Court’s decision to reopen the default divorce proceedings under Rule 60(b)(6), but reversed its decision to set aside the Separation Agreement because disputed factual allegations were resolved without an evidentiary hearing. The Court remanded for a hearing on the agreement’s enforceability and for reconsideration of related ancillary rulings, while directing reinstatement of interim alimony. The Court declined to reach the merits of the property division, final alimony, and attorney-fee issues at this stage.
