Supreme Court of Delaware

Jake Scott v. Department of Services for Children, Youth and Their Families TPR

May 8, 2026

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the Family Court’s termination of Father’s parental rights after finding that he failed to plan for the child and that termination was in the child’s best interests. The Court concluded that the findings were supported by the record and that Father’s claims concerning reunification services and prior counsel were unpersuasive. The Court also determined that the appeal was wholly without merit under the applicable no-merit withdrawal procedure.
