1Opinion of the Court
HOLLAND, Justice:
This is an appeal following the entry of a final divorce decree by the Family Court. 13 Del.C. §§ 1518(a) and 1523. The petitioner-appellant, Rhonda G. Hoffman (“the Wife”), has raised two issues. First, the Wife contends that the Family Court abused its discretion in vacating the prior decree which had divorced the parties. Second, the Wife contends that the Family Court was without authority to adjudicate the respondent-appellee, James L. Hoffman, Jr. (“the Husband”), mentally incompetent. This Court has decided that the judgments of the Family Court should be affirmed.
