Divorce Process Serving in Delaware
Your spouse must be formally served for a divorce to proceed. SimpleDivorce assigns a licensed process server who delivers the papers, documents each attempt with GPS and time stamps, and returns a notarized affidavit of service for the court. In Delaware, most uncontested cases finalize in about 6 to 7 months after the separation begins, since the 6-month separation period must be complete before the decree is entered.
Filing in Delaware
Court
Family Court
Residency
One spouse must have lived in Delaware for at least 6 months before filing.
Filing fee
Roughly $165–$190 depending on county (passed through at cost).
Waiting period
Delaware requires the spouses to complete a 6-month separation before the divorce can be finalized; this period may already be running when the petition is filed, so filing does not need to wait until the separation is complete.
