Delaware Court Locations and Records

FamilyCourtHelp is an independent educational platform. It is not a court, law firm, government agency, or government partner. We organize and link to publicly available resources published by courts and government agencies. Official requirements may change. Always confirm current requirements with the applicable court or clerk.

Family cases in Delaware are heard in the Family Court. Delaware has a single, dedicated statewide Family Court for all divorce, custody, and support. Family Court sits in each of Delaware's three counties.

The clerk's office is a different thing from the court itself. The clerk accepts filings, keeps the record, and collects fees, while judges and hearings belong to the court. For a filing question, the clerk is the right first call. The official Delaware directory and case record search are below.
