Frequently Asked Questions



How Is Custody Determined in Delaware?

Delaware courts make custody decisions based on the best interests of the child. Factors may include each parent’s ability to provide a stable home, the child’s relationship with each parent, the child’s adjustment to home and school, and the willingness of each parent to support the child’s relationship with the other parent. Every family situation is unique, and the court evaluates the specific circumstances of each case when determining custody arrangements.

Can Custody Agreements Be Modified?

Yes. Custody agreements can often be modified when there has been a significant change in circumstances affecting the child or either parent. Examples may include relocation, changes in work schedules, concerns about a child’s well-being, or evolving educational and medical needs. Any modification should continue to serve the child’s best interests. An attorney can help determine whether a modification may be appropriate and guide you through the legal process.

Do I Need a Lawyer for a Home Closing?

While every real estate transaction is different, having an attorney involved in a home closing can provide valuable protection and peace of mind. A real estate attorney can review contracts, identify potential title issues, explain legal obligations, and help ensure all documents are properly prepared and executed. Whether you are purchasing, selling, or refinancing property, legal guidance can help prevent costly mistakes and support a smoother transaction from start to finish.
