ORDER 
 
After careful consideration of the parties’ briefs and the record on 
appeal, we conclude that the judgment below should be affirmed on the basis 
of the Family Court’s well-reasoned order dated June 25, 2018. The 
appellant’s arguments regarding the rescission of the maternal grandmother’s 
guardianship, the award of sole custody to the appellee, and subsequent events 
are outside the scope of this appeal.2        
                                                 
1 The Court previously assigned pseudonyms to the parties under Supreme Court Rule 7(d). 
2 The rescission of the guardianship and award of sole custody are the subject of another 
appeal, Layton v. Layton, No. 377, 2018.

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the judgment of the 
Family Court is AFFIRMED.
