AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 13 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO PARENTS.
This Bill statutorily establishes de facto parent status in the State of Delaware by allowing the Family Court to consider evidence of a person’s assumption of parental responsibilities over a child and relationship with a child in determining the maternity and/or paternity of a child. It is intended to continue the rights and responsibilities of a de facto parent as set forth in In re: Hart, 806 A.2d 1179 (Del. Fam. 2001) without interruption.
