Delaware family court forms are published on official websites, but a parent without a lawyer usually has to search several pages to find a form, and the name on the page does not always match the name a clerk uses. The Delaware forms directory puts 74 official Delaware family court forms in one list you can search by form name or number, so you spend your time on your case instead of on the search.

Every form links straight to its official source and keeps its form number and revision date where the source prints one. The document itself is not changed, so what you fill in is the same document the source publishes.

Step 1. Open your state. Go to the Delaware forms directory and search by form name or number, or browse the folders.

Step 2. Fill it in on screen. Open the form in the eSign PDF Tool and type your answers into the official document. No printing and handwriting first.

Step 3. Sign it electronically. Add your signature and the date where the form asks for them.

Step 4. Download a clean copy. Download the finished PDF to print, keep, or file the way your court accepts.

Some Delaware forms must be signed in front of a notary or a clerk, and some courts want an original ink signature. The form's own instructions and the clerk have the final word on how it must be signed and filed.

Find your court. In Delaware, family cases are usually heard in the Family Court. Use the official Delaware court locations (courts.delaware.gov) to find the courthouse that serves you.

Prepare your forms. Use the current version of each form, filled in completely. The directory shows each form's revision date when the source prints one.

File with the clerk. Delaware Family Court does not offer e-filing at all as of mid-2026, so divorce and custody papers are filed on paper with the Family Court clerk. Other Delaware courts use separate e-filing systems that do not cover family cases. File in person or by mail with the Family Court clerk in New Castle, Kent, or Sussex County.

Pay the fee or ask for a waiver. Divorce filing fee: ~$155. If you cannot afford the fee, the clerk can tell you how to ask the court to waive it.

Give the other parent copies. The court rules in Delaware say how the other parent must receive copies of what you file. The clerk or the self-help resources above explain the options.

The form is the current version (compare the revision date with the official page).

Your local court does not add its own form or cover sheet for cases like yours.

Every blank is filled in, or marked as not applicable where the instructions allow it.

You know whether the form needs a notary, a witness, or an original ink signature.

You have the copies the clerk asks for: one for the court, one for you, and one for the other parent.

You have written down any deadline printed on the form or in the court's notice.

An account saves your drafts so you can come back and finish them.

Frequently asked questions

Can I represent myself in family court in Delaware?

Yes. Parents in Delaware may handle their own divorce, custody, support, and modification cases without a lawyer, which is called appearing pro se or self-represented. You are held to the same court rules and deadlines as a lawyer, so it helps to work from the court's current forms and instructions.

Where do I get official Delaware family court forms?

The courts publish them on their own forms page, linked above. Our Delaware forms directory lists 74 official Delaware family court forms from the court's pages in one searchable place, each linked to the court's own copy.

Are Delaware family court forms free?

The official copy of each form is available from its source website at no charge. Filing a case usually has a court fee (Divorce filing fee: ~$155), and the clerk can explain how to ask for a fee waiver if you cannot afford it.

Can the clerk or the self-help center fill out my forms for me?

Court staff and self-help centers can explain procedures and point you to forms, but they cannot give legal advice or tell you what to ask for. You choose and complete your own forms. FamilyCourtHelp works the same way: it gives you the forms and the tools, and the choices stay yours.

Can I e-sign Delaware court forms, or do they need a notary?

Our tool lets you add an electronic signature, but whether a court in Delaware accepts it depends on the form and how you file. Some forms need a notary, a clerk, or an original ink signature. Read the form's instructions and ask the clerk before you file.

Can I file my Delaware family case online?

Delaware Family Court does not offer e-filing at all as of mid-2026, so divorce and custody papers are filed on paper with the Family Court clerk. Other Delaware courts use separate e-filing systems that do not cover family cases.

Is FamilyCourtHelp a court, a government agency, or a law firm?

No. FamilyCourtHelp is an independent, private self-help service. It is not a court, a government agency, or a law firm, and it is not affiliated with any court. It organizes official forms and gives you tools to fill in, sign, and download them.
