CHRIS ZACHERY, Defendant Below, Appellant, v. BREANNE M. JACOBS, Plaintiff Below, Appellee.
Court Below—Family Court of the State of Delaware File No. CS13-02054
Petition No. 15-22421 Before STRINE, Chief Justice; VALIHURA and TRAYNOR, Justices. ORDER
This 7th day of March 2018, the Court, having considered the record below and the briefs filed by the parties, has determined that the judgment of the Family Court should be affirmed on the basis of and for the reasons assigned in its March 20, 2017 bench ruling and order and June 12, 2017 Order denying Appellant's Motion to Amend Judgment or for Reargument.
It appears from the Family Court's decision in this child custody/visitation case that the child is unaware of her father's existence. Indeed, in its bench ruling, the Family Court recognized that before long the child's mother will need to address this issue. We too encourage her to explain to the child that she has a father who has expressed an interest in her life. --------
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the judgment of the Family Court is AFFIRMED.
BY THE COURT:
/s/ Gary F . Traynor
Justice
