O R D E R 
 
This 15th day of March 2001, the Court, having carefully considered the decisions 
and judgments of the Family Court dated February 14, 2000, and March 29, 2000, 
together with the briefs filed by the parties, has determined as follows: 
 To the extent that:  (a) the issues raised on appeal are factual, the record evidence 
supports the trial judge’s factual findings; (b) the errors alleged on appeal are attributed 
to an abuse of discretion, the record does not support those assertions; (c) the issues 
 
 
raised on appeal are legal, they are controlled by settled Delaware law, which was 
properly applied.  
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the judgment of the Family  Court 
is AFFIRMED. 
BY THE COURT:
