Delaware Online Divorce

Delaware allows you to complete your divorce without an attorney if you and your spouse can come to an agreement on what to do with your property and how you will care for any children that you may have.

Delaware Residency Requirements

Either the Petitioner or the Respondent must have lived in Delaware for 6 consecutive months before filing for divorce.

Grounds For Divorce

Delaware is a no-fault divorce state. In a Delaware no-fault divorce the spouses agree that “the marriage is irretrievably broken and that reconciliation is improbable.”

Filing Your Delaware Divorce

After completing the online interview, DivorceWriter sends you the divorce forms you prepared online along with detailed Delaware filing procedures. The basic steps for filing your divorce are as follows:

1. You review and sign the documents, then file the Petition for Divorce and other divorce documents with the Clerk of the Family Court.
2. The court serves the divorce documents on the Respondent, or the Respondent goes to the court to pick up the divorce documents and files an Affidavit of Appearance at that time.
3. Both spouses attend a parenting class if children are involved, and file the remaining documents with the Clerk of the Family Court.
4. A judge completes your divorce by signing your Decree of Divorce, which will be mailed to both parties.

Division of property & debt, child parenting plan (including child support, visitation and custody), spousal support, and more are covered.

DivorceWriter provides forms specific to the state of Delaware and offers a money back guarantee if your documents are not accepted by the Court.
