Del. Fam. Ct. Civ. R. 44.2
Reports or other information; availability; restrictions on use; hearings
(a) Availability of reports. The Court shall make known to all parties or their attorneys the
existence of any reports or other information not offered by the parties which it intends to
consider in reaching a decision and an opportunity to examine the same. If there is no
objection or if any objection is overruled, the reports and/or other information shall be
admitted into evidence, subject to subparagraph (b).
(b) Restrictions on use. The Court may provide any of the parties or their attorneys with copies
of such reports or the substance thereof, subject in all cases to such restrictions as the Court
may deem proper. Where appropriate the Court may order (1) nondisclosure of such reports
or portions thereof to the parties, their attorneys, or other persons, (2) that no copies be made
of such reports, or (3) that copies be returned to the Court at a designated time.
(c) Further hearing on report. If any affected party objects to the facts contained in any such
report, in whole or in part, and if it appears that the objection is made in good faith and that
the portion of the report objected to is of sufficient importance to influence the Court’s
judgment, the Court shall afford the objecting party an opportunity to present evidence
refuting the report or that portion thereof to which objection is made.
