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 have.
Residency Requirements
Either you or your spouse must have lived in Delaware for 6 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 along with detailed Delaware filing instructions.
The basic steps for filing your divorce are as follows:

- File the Petition for Divorce and other divorce documents with the Clerk of the Family Court.
- 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.
