Beck v. Beck
Supreme Court of Delaware
Decided January 12, 2001No. 276, 2000PublishedCited by 6 opinions
1Per curiam
This appeal concerns the Family Court’s decision to dismiss a child support petition because the petitioner arrived late to a hearing. We find that the Family Court dismissed the petition without prejudice and that a subsequent petition on the same cause of action is therefore not barred by res judicata. We also find that the unusual circumstances of this case warrant the assignment of a new judge to preside over the proceedings on remand. Accordingly, we reverse the judgment of the Family Court and remand the matter for proceedings consistent with this opinion.
