I am a single mom with a child. I have not heard from my child’s father in over a year. Can I 
terminate his parental rights?
Although there are some exceptions, generally the Court will terminate the rights of one parent unless there is someone (i.e. a step parent) ready to accept those parent rights through a subsequent adoption.

Q: Am I able to use my husband’s infidelity against him in court? If so, how? 
A: Delaware is a no fault divorce state. Our statute is clear that property shall be divided without regard to marital misconduct. Generally, infidelity is a form of misconduct and the only benefit to filing under that ground is that you can finalize the divorce without waiting for six months of separation.
