Optional Forms
Answer to Petition for Divorce/Annulment
Filed by the respondent within 20 days of service to agree with or contest the divorce petition. If no answer is filed or the respondent agrees, the case proceeds as uncontested.
Stipulation and Order
Filed when both parties have agreed on all terms of the divorce. The court may decide the case based solely on the filed papers without a hearing.
Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis
Application to waive court filing fees for litigants who demonstrate financial hardship and inability to pay.
Filing Tips for Delaware
Make copies. File the original and keep at least two copies — one for yourself and one for service on your spouse.
Sign where required. Some forms must be signed in front of a notary. Check each form for notarization requirements.
Use black ink. Courts generally require forms to be completed in black ink or typed. Avoid blue ink or pencil.
Check local rules. Some Delaware counties may require additional forms or have specific formatting requirements.
